PET shows functional changes occurring in organs and tissues and is the most advanced nuclear medicine imaging technique.
By means of PET, tumor tissues which can not be detected by radiological imaging method can be determined and diagnosed earlier.
Whether a tumor is benign or malignant is easily detected by PET.
The stage of the tumor can be easily identified so that the appropriate treatment is applied.
Response of tumor to treatment can be evaluated by comparing the scan after the treatment with the scan before the treatment. Thus, direction of the treatment is determined in a healthy way.
One of the advantages of this system is that it distinguishes living tumor tissue in the corresponding region after radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery.
Moreover, it is possible to assess recurrence of the disease, and locate it if there is a recurrence.
Furthermore, it also helps estimate the direction of diagnosis and treatment of nervous system diseases - neurological dementia, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy. Cardiological viability and function can also be evaluated by this method in terms of cardiology.
