A PET Scan is an imaging examination that can help doctors evaluate both the condition and activity of tissues in the body. Unlike examinations that primarily show the structure of organs, a PET Scan can provide information about metabolic activity in specific tissues.
The examination uses a small and safe amount of a radioactive substance called a radiotracer. Once it enters the body, the radiotracer is absorbed by certain tissues and detected by the PET scanner. Areas that absorb more radiotracer may indicate metabolic activity that requires further evaluation by a doctor.
In clinical practice, PET Scans can be used to evaluate various health conditions, particularly cancer. The examination can also be used for certain heart conditions and disorders affecting the brain.
Doctors may recommend a PET Scan to help:
- Evaluate cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer.
- Assess whether cancer may have spread to other parts of the body.
- Monitor the response of cancer to treatment.
- Detect possible cancer recurrence after treatment.
- Evaluate the condition of heart tissue following a heart attack.
- Help identify heart tissue that may still require treatment.
- Evaluate certain brain conditions, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Digital PET CT Scan at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
PET Scan examinations at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri use Digital PET CT Scan technology. This technology combines PET and CT imaging, allowing doctors to obtain information about both the body’s structures and tissue activity.
The use of digital technology also offers several benefits during the examination process, including:
1. Helps produce more detailed images
Digital PET CT Scan technology has high sensitivity and resolution, which can help doctors detect changes in tissues, including small lesions.
In cancer examinations, this capability can help doctors evaluate areas suspected of having abnormalities and assess tissue activity more clearly.
2. Better image contrast
Digital technology can produce images with higher contrast. This can help doctors distinguish areas with different levels of tracer activity and evaluate the characteristics of a lesion.
3. Can use a lower radiation dose
Digital PET CT Scan technology can produce good image quality while using a lower radiation dose compared with conventional analog PET technology, depending on the examination protocol used.
4. Scanning time of approximately 10–15 minutes
One of the advantages of Digital PET CT Scan at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is its relatively short scanning process. Image acquisition can take approximately 10–15 minutes.

6. Helps provide a more comprehensive picture of the disease
PET CT Scan does more than help detect abnormalities. It can also provide information about the location, activity, and possible spread of a disease.
In cancer patients, PET CT Scan results can help doctors evaluate disease spread, determine the cancer stage, assess tumor characteristics, and monitor the response to treatment.
