PET-CT

Biruni Hospital delivers healthcare services at international standards, utilizing state-of-the-art medical technologies for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of a wide range of diseases.

PET-CT: Dual Power for Early and Accurate Diagnosis

PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography) is a hybrid imaging technology that combines the metabolic insights of PET with the anatomical detail of CT — providing a comprehensive view of the body in a single scan. By capturing both structure and function, PET-CT enables earlier diagnosis, precise disease assessment, and more effective treatment planning.

Advantages of PET-CT Imaging

  • Early Detection
    PET-CT can reveal diseases before structural changes occur, enabling timely diagnosis — especially critical in cancer and cardiac conditions.

  • High Diagnostic Accuracy
    The combination of PET’s metabolic imaging and CT’s anatomical precision improves the accuracy of diagnoses across a wide range of conditions.

  • Personalized Treatment Planning
    Helps clinicians identify exact tumor location and activity, allowing them to develop targeted treatment strategies.

  • Effective Treatment Monitoring
    Tracks changes in disease activity over time, making it easier to evaluate response to therapy and adjust treatment plans accordingly.

Technology We Use: GE Discovery IQ PET-CT

At our facility, we utilize the General Electric Discovery IQ PET-CT scanner — a high-performance device offering:

  • High NEMA Sensitivity
    Allows for clearer images with lower radiation doses, enhancing both safety and diagnostic confidence.

  • Motion Correction Technology
    Ensures high-quality images even when patient movement is present, improving accuracy in challenging cases.

  • Multi-Ring Detector System
    Its four-ring architecture enables faster image acquisition with lower radiotracer doses, providing greater comfort for patients and efficiency for clinicians.

PET-CT is widely used for evaluating oncologic, cardiac, neurological, and infectious diseases, and is considered the gold standard in modern diagnostic imaging.
