PET-CT is an advanced imaging test used to detect cancer and evaluate conditions throughout the body.
This examination is available at our hospital in Osaka by appointment.
International patients are accepted with prior appointment.
What PET Examination Helps Evaluate
PET imaging visualizes metabolic activity in the body.
When interpreted together with CT findings and clinical information,
PET-CT may provide additional information in selected cases.
PET examination is not a substitute for all other tests.
The most appropriate examination depends on symptoms, medical history, and physician assessment.
Who May Consider PET-CT
- People who want advanced imaging as part of hospital-based evaluation
- Individuals who prefer coordinated care if additional testing or specialist consultation is needed
- Those referred for imaging based on physician assessment
If you already have symptoms or a specific concern, specialist consultation may be recommended
rather than an imaging-first pathway.
