A PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) is an advanced imaging test that helps detect how tissues and organs are functioning within the body. It is most commonly used in the investigation and monitoring of conditions such as cancer, as well as certain neurological and cardiac conditions.
The scan involves a small amount of radioactive tracer being introduced into the body, which allows doctors to identify areas of abnormal activity. The procedure is generally safe and is carried out by specialist imaging teams in dedicated facilities.
At AxoScan, we help coordinate access to trusted clinics offering PET scans, guiding you through the referral process and ensuring a smooth and efficient experience from enquiry to appointment.
