A PET (positron emission tomography) scan is an imaging test that reveals how well a person’s organs and tissues are functioning. Such a scan can sometimes detect disease before it might show up on other types of imaging tests. As the standard in detecting heart disease, an imagery test that indicates how a person’s organs and tissues function, has been recognized and utilized throughout the country. Now, the goal of PET is to join with physicians to better enable them in the use of this non-invasive diagnostic technology that is so valuable. As a mobile service, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) allows physicians convenient access to imaging tests that will assist them with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools for detecting cardiac disease. PET utilizes functional imaging techniques that make use of radioactive substances known as radiotracers to measure and visualize changes in metabolic processes. It also measures other physiological activities including blood flow, absorption, and regional chemical composition. The cutting-edge tools of PET can be utilized comfortably on the site of the physicians’ practices.
