What Is a PET/CT Scan?

A PET/CT scan is a highly – accurate scan that shows your organ and tissue function and bones. PET/CT combines positron emission tomography (PET) with computed tomography (CT) to create detailed images about your body’s structure and the cell function. PET/CT is used to detect cancer and brain disorders.
