18F-FDG PET - CT TRIPLE PHASE WITH CT WHOLE ABDOMEN
Call for discounted price
In many clinical conditions, the referring doctor needs 18F-FDG PET-CT with a triple-phase whole abdomen CT scan. The 18F-FDG Whole body PET-CT is commonly used to assess a range of cancers, neurological disorders, heart disease, fever of unknown origin, infection and inflammation imaging, and many more. The CT triple phase assesses focal liver lesions, neuroendocrine tumours, hyper-vascular liver metastatic disease and hemangioma. This test is performed for initial diagnosis, monitoring the treatment response, and detecting recurrence of the disease. It can also help identify easily accessible biopsy sites and guide radiation therapy planning.
Test information: Fasting: 4-6 hours
Reporting: Within 2 hours*
- Patient should be fasting for 4-6 hours before the appointment time.
- Drinking plain water is allowed and encouraged. There is no need to hold urine.
- Diabetic patients should NOT take anti-diabetic medicines, including insulin, on the appointment day. In case your fasting blood sugar is more than 200 mg/dL, kindly consult your physician and get it controlled. It should be below 200 mg/dL on the scan day without taking any anti-diabetic medicine or insulin.
- Please carry all previous medical records, i.e. doctor's referral, reports of previous PET-CT, CT scan, MRI, USG, biopsy etc. and the treatment records. Previously, if PET-CT is done, kindly carry CD to compare any changes since the last study.
- Please carry a recent Serum Creatinine blood test report. If not done previously, with additional applicable charges, it can be done at the centre. You need not wait extra for the results to come as both tests go parallelly.
- If the patient is allergic to contrast media, please inform the staff.
- Female patients must inform their pregnancy status or breastfeeding before injecting radiopharmaceuticals.
- Always try to reach 15 minutes before appointment time as the radiopharmaceutical (tracer) used for 18F-FDG PET-CT has a short half-life, and any delay may cause tracer decay, and you may be rescheduled for another day.
- Please carry identification proof such as an Aadhar card, pan card etc.
