イメージHealth checkup facilities offering PET (Positron Emission Tomography) in Mie
A scan that injects a tracer that accumulates in cancer cells to help detect cancers throughout the body at an early stage
What PET (Positron Emission Tomography) can reveal & when to get it
This test exploits the tendency of cancer cells to absorb large amounts of glucose, using the distribution of a radioactive tracer to examine the entire body for cancer in a single session. PET-CT, which combines PET with CT, is the most common form.
Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Cancer and metastases throughout the body
- Cancer recurrence
- Evaluation of tumors of unknown origin
When to consider this test
This is an optional (voluntary) examination. It is typically chosen as part of a comprehensive health checkup (ningen dock) for those who wish to screen the entire body at once. Because it is less effective at detecting early-stage gastric cancer and certain other cancers, it is intended to be used in combination with other tests.
Screening interval: Optional. Consult your physician (e.g., once every few years, depending on your purpose).
Benefits
- ○Allows evaluation of the entire body in a single examination
- ○Useful for assessing the spread of cancer and detecting metastases
- ○Enables assessment from both structural and metabolic perspectives
Points to note when getting tested
- !Early-stage gastric cancer, certain other cancers, and small lesions are difficult to detect
- !Inflammation can also cause tracer accumulation, potentially leading to false-positive results
- !Radiation exposure from the tracer is involved, and accuracy may be reduced in individuals with diabetes
