Specializing in Blood Disorder & Cancer Care MENU 925.939.9610 PET / CT SCANNING PET / CT Scanning At Contra Costa Oncology, we take pride in providing our patients with the most advanced technology. That is why we now offer PET/CT scanning, the most advanced diagnostic imaging tool for oncology. Positron Emission Tomography, commonly referred to as PET, is an advanced diagnostic procedure that detects changes in cellular function in the body. A CT, Computed Tomography or some times called CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) scan, is an X-ray imaging procedure that produces structural images of your internal organs with greater clarity than conventional X-ray images. PET/CT can assess abnormalities of the heart and brain as well as identify any cancer in the body. Together, PET and CT can be used to diagnose and manage disease with greater accuracy. THE CLINICAL ADVANTAGES OF PET/CT: Detailed diagnostic information not available from other imaging tests Earlier detection of disease Improved staging of the disease and better monitoring of cancer recurrences Improved targeting of metabolically active cancers for radiation therapy More effective tracking of the results of treatment therapy GALLIUM-68 DOTATATE SCANS This is the only site in the East Bay with the ability to do Gallium-68 Dotatate Scans. In addition to improved diagnostic info and quantitation, there is less radiation exposure for the patient, and the study takes a couple of hours instead of a couple days in comparison to an Octreoscan.
