Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

PET is a type of nuclear medicine test. Nuclear medicine imaging tests use a special camera and tiny amounts of radioactive drugs (called tracers). The test checks how well organs and other parts of your body are working. During the test, you’ll lie on a table that’s attached to a donut-shaped machine, called a PET scanner.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Sometimes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used with a PET scan. MRI is a test that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to make clear and detailed pictures of organs and structures inside your body.
