Early detection of breast cancer can significantly improve treatment options, survival rates, and quality of life. Not only that, if breast cancer is found earlier, its size is often small and has not spread, making treatment more effective and recovery chances better.
To detect the spread of breast cancer, Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital provides advanced Digital PET CT Scan services supported by an experienced medical team.

Advantages of Digital PET CT Scan in Detecting Breast Cancer
Digital PET CT Scan is a relatively rare imaging technology. In Indonesia, there are fewer than 5 hospitals that have it.
Here are the advantages of Digital PET CT Scan in detecting the spread of breast cancer:
1. Sharper images and more accurate lesion detection
Digital PET CT Scan offers much better image quality. In fact, this tool can detect cancer lesions that are very small in size, including those less than one centimeter (subcentimeter), thus greatly helping in early diagnosis.
2. Higher and colored image contrast
The scanning technology in Digital PET CT Scan produces high-contrast images, making it easier for doctors to recognize and analyze lesions.
Unlike analog PET Scans which produce black-and-white images, the scanning results from Digital PET CT Scan are already displayed in color.
This color display clearly shows areas of the body with tracer accumulation, allowing the spread of cancer and the disease stage to be identified more accurately.
3. Lower radiation
One important advantage of Digital PET CT Scan is its ability to produce high-quality images with lower radiation exposure.
This certainly provides more benefits for patients, as it reduces the risk of side effects from repeated radiation exposure.
4. Faster examination time
The scanning process with Digital PET CT Scan is much faster compared to the analog version.
At Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital, scanning with Digital PET CT Scan only takes about a few minutes.
This shorter duration not only improves patient comfort but also allows disease detection to be carried out more quickly so that treatment can be done immediately.
5. Increased patient comfort
The Digital PET CT Scan device, such as the one used at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital, is equipped with a 360 Panorama Experience feature.
This feature displays beautiful scenery around the patient during the scanning process, thus creating a calmer and more comfortable atmosphere.
6. More in-depth and specific cancer information
In addition to detecting and diagnosing cancer, Digital PET CT Scan can also provide detailed information related to the cancer suffered by the patient.
In cancer cases, this tool can show the location of the cancer, how far it has spread, and the cancer staging status.
Not only that, Digital PET CT Scan is also capable of identifying tumor characteristics and responses to treatments that have been given. This information is very important in designing the most effective and personalized treatment strategy for each patient.
