PET-CT Interpretation

 

Have you undergone a PET-CT scan and would like a detailed interpretation or a second opinion?
RDG’s PET-CT interpretation service is provided by highly experienced specialist radiologists who aim to deliver each patient an accurate diagnosis, professional guidance, full understanding of the findings, and compassionate support throughout the process. RDG’s PET-CT interpretation service is unique because we combine the expert analysis of two specialists into one report, including a full analysis of the CT findings by an experienced radiologist, and the full anaylsis of the PET- findings by a nuclear medicine specialist. We offer a medical experience that combines quality, speed, and personalized service by two specialists. This service is available to all patients, regardless of where the scan was performed—whether in Israel or abroad.

What is PET-CT?

PET-CT is one of the most important and advanced diagnostic tests in modern oncology. It combines two imaging techniques:

  • PET (Positron Emission Tomography) detects metabolic activity of cells using a radioactive tracer.
  • CT (Computed Tomography) provides a precise anatomical image of the scanned area.

The fusion of functional and structural information enables identification of active tumors, assessment of disease extent, monitoring of treatment response, and early detection of disease recurrence. While primarily intended for oncology patients, PET-CT is also used for patients suspected of malignant disease, for follow-up after various treatments, and for evaluating complex inflammatory or infectious processes. For oncologists, PET-CT is a central tool for treatment decision-making and tailoring precise, personalized care plans.
