PET-CT scans are used in the diagnosis of lung and other cancers. A PET (positron emission tomography) scan can map the body’s areas with cancerous cells by detecting FDG,slightly radioactive glucose given intravenously to patients before the scan. A CT (computed tomography) scan takes many cross-sectional images of the part of the body being screenedsimultaneously,
Irving, TX – Nov 16, 2020 – PET/CT Las Colinas offers high-quality PET/CT imaging using advanced technology to deliver high sensitivity and high resolution images using very low radiation doses. Their imaging equipment help in earlycancer detection and monitoring of patient treatment. The center has experienced physicians who ensure patients receive accurate diagnoses that help
According to research published in JAMA, (PET) positron emission tomography detects Alzheimer’s-related plaques, and the imaging results influence patient’s care plans. The researchers enrolled 16,000 Medicare beneficiaries in the study. The first part of the study focused on how physicians changed the drug prescription and counseling for the patients. For patients with(MCI) Mild cognitive impairmentwho
Researchers tested Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) in 10 high-risk prostate cancer patients, and they detected a residual tumor. The researchers were from the University Medical Center Essen in Germany. CLI can now be used for identifying cancerous cells during prostate cancer surgery. When surgeons miss cancerous cells during surgery, it increases the chances of reoccurrence
Irving, TX – October 12, 2020 –Early cancer detection and diagnosis increases the chances of treatment and cure. It enables doctors to identify tumors while they’re still pre-cancerous and treatable. Identifying early cancers is the priority of PET/CT Las Colinas. The center utilizes high-quality scanners to ensure pre-cancerous tumors are detected accurately to enable early
Alzheimer’s disease affects 5.8million Americans. It is among the top causes of dementia. Alzheimer’s is challenging to diagnose in the initial stages because it does not exhibit any symptoms until later stages. Symptoms such as memory loss appear after neurodegeneration (which takes years or decades) has already taken a toll on cognition and memory. Clinical
Positron emission tomography is a 3D picture of your body. Patients get a mildly radioactive drug that helps to highlight highly active cells. The scan helps to know whether there is a lump or not, screen for cancer, find out if treatment is working, examine the stage of cancer, and to decide on the best
A positron emission tomography (PET-CT) is used to scan for cancer and to know more about its current stage. A PET-CT scan is more specific than other imaging options. Doctors use it to check if the cancer treatment is working, plan for radiotherapy, and find the exact position for a biopsy. After your cancer treatment,
Irving, TX – September 19, 2020–PET/CT of Las Colinas offers Amyloid PET scans for patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The Amyvid scan helps to detect Alzheimer’s disease by imaging the brain in adults. It evaluates them for Alzheimer’s disease as well as other ailments that are causing cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s disease affects the memory, thinking, and
Researchers have discovered a new CT scan method that reduces radiation exposure has been developed. According to the study: The CT scan technique splits a full X-ray beam into smaller beamlets and still produce similar image quality at a reduced radiation dose. The method could be adapted in all medical scanners and minimize the amount
