To detect the spread of cervical cancer, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri provides state-of-the-art Digital PET CT Scan technology capable of delivering accurate and precise cancer detection.

Advantages of Digital PET CT Scan in Detecting the Spread of Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is among the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. Therefore, women are encouraged to undergo regular screening or examinations such as with a Digital PET CT Scan. When detected early, this type of cancer is more likely to be treated successfully.
Compared to conventional PET Scans, Digital PET CT Scan offers several advantages in cancer detection, including:
1. Sharper Images and More Precise Lesion Detection
The Digital PET CT Scan delivers significantly higher image quality. This machine performs scans with high spatial resolution and provides better tissue differentiation than conventional PET Scans.
It can detect even very small cancerous lesions, including those smaller than one centimeter (subcentimeter), which is crucial for early-stage cancer detection.
2. Lower Radiation Exposure
One of the main advantages of the Digital PET CT Scan is its ability to produce high-quality images using a lower radiation dose.
This offers a significant benefit for patients by minimizing the risks associated with repeated radiation exposure, especially for those requiring frequent monitoring.
3. More Colorful and High-Contrast Images
The Digital PET CT Scan generates color images with high contrast, making it easier for doctors to identify and analyze suspicious areas of the body.
Unlike analog PET Scans that only produce black-and-white images, the digital version used at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri provides color visuals, which enhance the visibility of tracer accumulation areas and help doctors identify cancer spread and disease stage more accurately.
4. Shorter Scanning Time
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, Digital PET CT Scan procedures take only a few minutes. This efficient process not only increases patient comfort but also enables faster diagnosis, allowing earlier initiation of cancer treatment.
5. Equipped with 360 Panorama Experience Feature
The Digital PET CT Scan at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is equipped with a 360 Panorama Experience feature that displays calming scenery around the patient during the scan.
This feature is designed to create a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, helping reduce stress or anxiety during the examination.
6. Provides Deeper and More Specific Cancer Information
Beyond detection and diagnosis, Digital PET CT Scan offers a comprehensive view of the patient’s condition.
The technology can show the exact location of cancer, the extent of its spread, and its stage. It can also reveal tumor characteristics and assess how well the body is responding to treatment.
This valuable information enables the medical team to develop an accurate and effective cancer treatment strategy for each patient.
