What are the Advantages of PET in Cancer Management?
PET offers several significant advantages in cancer management:
High Sensitivity and Specificity: PET scans are highly sensitive and specific in detecting cancer, often identifying malignant cells at early stages. Functional Imaging: Unlike conventional imaging techniques that show anatomical structures, PET provides functional imaging, revealing metabolic activity and biochemical changes. Whole-Body Scanning: PET can scan the entire body in one session, making it effective for detecting metastases. Non-Invasive: PET is a non-invasive procedure, reducing the need for exploratory surgeries.
