    Factors Affecting

    What is PET scan?

    Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan allows the diagnosis of diseases like cancer, brain disorders, and heart diseases. It uses a radioactive drug which can be swallowed, injected, or inhaled to reveal biochemical changes that occur in the tissues or organs. The drug (tracer) ejects gamma rays which can be traced and used for imaging.

    The tracer used varies based on the organ or tissue that needs to be targetted. Thus, the types depend on the function of the PET scan. It can be of six types:

    Fluorodeoxyglucose PET or FDG PET: Since tumours need sugars to grow, fluorodeoxyglucose is used. It is a sugar-like substance with the ability to bind with sugars. When it is introduced into the body, it gravitates towards with high concentrations of sugar. While it can be used to find tumours in any part of the body, it is specifically useful to image inflammation, infection, and brain function.

    How much does PET- CT scan cost in India?

    The average cost of PET- CT scan in India is approximately Rs. 10,000 – 35,000. However, the prices may vary depending upon the hospitals in different cities.

    What is the average cost of PET- CT scan Treatment in Hyderabad?

    The cost of PET- CT scan in Hyderabad depends upon multiple factors and ranges from Rs. 15,000 to 27,000.

    DOTA-TATE (GaTate) and DOTA-NOC PET: This drug is typically used to detect neural or neuroendocrine tumours.
    Fluoride Bone PET:As the name suggests, it is useful to create images of bones.
    Fluorothymidine PET or FLT-PET: FLT helps to detect fast-replicating cells and is typically used for imaging bone marrow, brain tumours, and other clinical trials.
    Fluorocholine PET or FCH-PET: This drug is used to image prostate cancer.
    Fluoroethylthrosine PET or FET-PET: It is used for imaging brain tumours.

    FAQ's

    A positron emission tomography (PET) scan uses a radioactive tracer to create 3D images of the body’s internal organs and tissues, helping to diagnose diseases, monitor cancer treatment, and evaluate heart and brain conditions.

    PET scans are generally safe, with minimal risk. A small amount of radiation is used through an injected tracer, which is quickly eliminated from the body, akin to the radiation exposure from the environment over three years.

    A PET-CT scan typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. The scanning process itself takes 20 to 40 minutes, but the total time may be longer due to the time needed for the radiotracer to take effect and for report preparation.

    The cost of a cardiac PET scan in India ranges from Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 28,000, though prices may vary depending on the hospital.

    In India, a PET-CT scan for cancer typically costs between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 35,000, depending on the hospital, laboratory, and type of scan. For instance, a PET brain scan may cost around Rs 15,000, while a cardiac PET scan can go up to Rs. 20,000.

    An FDG-PET scan is an imaging test that uses a radiotracer to detect areas of high activity in the body, which may indicate cancer or other conditions. It’s commonly used to identify cancers like lung, colorectal, breast, ovarian, and brain cancer, as malignant cells consume glucose rapidly. FDG-PET scans can also detect inflammation, infections, and conditions like sarcoidosis and rheumatologic diseases. The procedure involves injecting a small amount of radioactive glucose into a vein, with the scan typically taking 30–60 minutes. The cost of an FDG-PET scan ranges from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 27,000.
