Oncological diagnostics. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography

Oncological diagnostics in Germany is the identification of oncological pathology in the early stages and is the key to further successful treatment. Experienced specialists, using modern high-tech methods, identify and successfully treat up to 95% of oncological diseases. In particular, it is used in the treatment of breast cancer.

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography

   Reliable diagnosis is a prerequisite for successful treatment of cancer. An unambiguous diagnosis gives you, as a patient and your doctor, the opportunity to plan the stages of treatment.

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography is a state-of-the-art procedure for early detection and location of malignancy.

The indication for this is to clarify the diagnosis.

   Positron emission tomography is a figurative research method. It uses radioactively labeled glucose or other substances to track the body’s metabolism. Patients are given injections into the circulatory system with these indicators. The unit of measurement and the attached computer provide information using radiation emitted by the body. How strongly or weakly, for example, glucose accumulates in the area of the body under study depends on its metabolic activity: tumors and metastases often have a different energy metabolism than healthy tissue. These differences can be recognized using positron emission tomography.

   This information is an overview of how positron emission tomography works and when it is used in diagnosing cancer.

   This information is addressed to patients, their relatives and simply those who would like to learn more about this research method. It should help you learn about positron emission tomography, or in preparation for a conversation with your doctor on this topic. But information on the Internet in no way replaces direct medical consultation.

The cost of positron emission tomography together with computed tomography in Germany is 3500 Euro.
