Health checkup facilities offering PET (Positron Emission Tomography) in Ehime

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
