Advantages of Digital PET CT Scan in Detecting Cancer
Digital PET CT Scan is a relatively rare imaging technology. In Indonesia, the number of hospitals equipped with it can be counted on one hand. One of the hospitals with this advanced imaging technology is Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.
Compared to conventional PET Scans, here are some advantages of Digital PET CT Scan in detecting cancer:
1. Sharper images and more accurate lesion detection
Digital PET CT Scan can produce images with very high resolution. This capability is very helpful in detecting very small cancer lesions, even those under one centimeter (subcentimeter), making it very useful for early cancer diagnosis.
2. Higher and colored image contrast
Digital PET CT Scan displays images with higher contrast and in color, making it easier for doctors to identify suspicious areas in the body.
Unlike analog PET Scans that only produce black-and-white images, images from Digital PET CT Scan show tracer accumulation in clearly defined colors. This helps doctors determine the location of cancer spread and disease stage with greater accuracy.
3. Lower radiation exposure
One of the main advantages of Digital PET CT Scan is its ability to produce detailed images with lower radiation doses. This provides a significant benefit for patients as the risk of repeated radiation exposure becomes smaller, especially for those requiring regular examinations.
4. Faster scanning process
Digital PET CT Scan allows the scanning process to be completed in a much shorter time compared to analog technology.
At RS Mandaya Royal Puri, the examination takes only a few minutes, providing greater comfort for patients and accelerating the diagnosis and treatment process.
5. Equipped with 360 Panorama Experience feature
The Digital PET CT Scan at RS Mandaya Royal Puri is equipped with the 360 Panorama Experience feature, which displays soothing visuals around the patient during the scanning process.
This feature creates a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, making the patient experience more pleasant and less stressful.
6. Provides more specific cancer information
More than just detecting, Digital PET CT Scan can also provide very detailed information regarding the patient’s cancer condition.
This device can accurately show the tumor location, degree of spread, and cancer stage. Not only that, this technology can also analyze tumor characteristics and response to treatment, making it very useful in developing a more personalized and effective treatment strategy for each patient.
