Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system—an essential part of the immune system that helps fight off infections. This cancer occurs when lymphatic cells that are supposed to fight germs grow uncontrollably and form tumors.
To detect the spread of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is equipped with a state-of-the-art Digital PET CT Scan that can identify cancer metastasis accurately and precisely.

Advantages of Digital PET CT Scan for Detecting the Spread of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Compared to conventional PET Scans, the Digital PET CT Scan at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri offers several superior advantages, especially in detecting various types of cancer, including liver and lymphoma. Here are its key features:
1. Clearer Images and More Accurate Lesion Detection
Digital PET CT Scan delivers high spatial resolution imaging, enabling much more detailed visualization of body tissues than conventional PET Scans. It can detect very small lesions—even those under one centimeter (sub-centimeter)—which is crucial for early cancer detection and more accurate treatment planning.
2. Low Radiation Exposure
A major advantage of the Digital PET CT Scan is its ability to produce high-quality images with lower radiation doses. This is especially beneficial for patients who require routine check-ups, as it minimizes the long-term risk of radiation exposure.
3. High-Contrast Colored Images
Unlike conventional PET Scans that produce black-and-white images, the Digital PET CT Scan generates high-contrast colored visuals. This greatly assists doctors in identifying suspicious areas more precisely. The scanner also maps tracer distribution in detail, which is critical for locating tumors and determining their stage.
4. Shorter Scan Time
Digital PET CT Scan at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri allows for faster scanning compared to traditional methods. Scans can be completed in just a few minutes, improving patient comfort and speeding up medical decision-making.
5. Equipped with 360 Panorama Experience
To create a more relaxing atmosphere during the scan, the machine includes a 360 Panorama Experience feature, displaying calming scenery images. This helps reduce patient anxiety during the procedure.
6. More Comprehensive Cancer Information
In addition to detecting and diagnosing cancer, Digital PET CT Scan also provides detailed information on tumor location, spread, and staging.
It can also assess tumor characteristics and the body’s response to treatment, helping the medical team design more personalized and effective therapies.
