Not a place to take your dog or cat! This is the NHS facility at Gartnavel. According to the information leaflet available on the NHS website: PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography coupled with Computerised Tomography) is a safe and easy scanning method. It is different from other investigations that you may have had such as x-rays, diagnostic CT, ultrasound or MRI. PET-CT scanning shows how the tissues are functioning and identifies the organs or tissues that are not working normally. With PET-CT, the body is imaged following the injection of a tracer (generally a form of slightly radioactive sugar). Using this method we can get important information about many conditions and this will help your doctor to plan appropriate treatment for you.
