Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries—small organs in the female reproductive system where eggs are produced. This type of cancer is often difficult to detect early because symptoms typically appear only in the later stages. However, you don’t need to worry—Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital now offers the latest Digital PET CT Scan technology, which allows doctors to detect the spread of ovarian cancer with exceptional accuracy and precision.

Advantages of Digital PET CT Scan in Detecting Ovarian Cancer Spread
Compared to conventional PET scans, Digital PET CT Scans offer many superior advantages in various aspects. Beyond simply detecting cancer, this technology also assesses treatment effectiveness and helps determine the cancer stage.
Here are the key advantages of using a Digital PET CT Scan to detect the spread of ovarian cancer:
1. Sharper images and more accurate lesion detection
The Digital PET CT Scan provides high-resolution medical imaging thanks to its superior spatial resolution. This technology allows more detailed visualization of body tissues, surpassing the capability of conventional PET Scans.
It can also detect extremely small cancer lesions—including those under one centimeter (sub-centimeter)—which is crucial for early cancer detection and optimal treatment planning.
2. Lower radiation exposure, safer for regular screening
One of the main advantages of the Digital PET CT Scan is its ability to produce high-quality images with lower radiation doses. This is particularly beneficial for patients requiring repeated scans, as it helps reduce the long-term risk of radiation side effects.
3. Full-color imaging with high contrast
Unlike traditional PET Scans that usually present images in black and white, the Digital PET CT Scan delivers full-color visuals with high contrast. This allows doctors to more accurately identify suspicious areas.
At Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital, this technology can display tracer (radioactive substance) distribution in detail, which is very helpful in accurately identifying the location and stage of cancer.
4. Faster and more comfortable procedure
The Digital PET CT Scan at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital offers much shorter scanning times compared to older technologies. The scan can be completed in just a few minutes, enhancing patient comfort and speeding up diagnosis and treatment planning.
5. Equipped with 360 Panorama Experience for patient comfort
This Digital PET CT Scan also features a 360 Panorama Experience to maximize patient comfort during the procedure. Patients can enjoy calming visuals designed to create a relaxing atmosphere and help reduce anxiety during the scan.
6. Provides more comprehensive cancer data
In addition to detection and diagnosis, the Digital PET CT Scan offers comprehensive information about tumor location, cancer cell spread, and disease staging.
This technology even helps evaluate tumor characteristics and patient responses to treatment, making it a valuable tool for more targeted and effective therapy planning.
