What is a PET scan?
A PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) is an advanced imaging test that uses a radioactive tracer to detect abnormal cell activity, helping diagnose cancer, heart disease, and neurological conditions. At leading hospitals like MPCT Hospital in Navi Mumbai, expert radiologists perform PET scans to identify disease early, monitor treatment progress, and plan effective care with precision.
A PET scan shows how your organs and tissues are functioning, not just what they look like. It helps detect:
- Cancer – Finds tumors, checks if cancer has spread (metastasized), or monitors treatment response.
- Heart Problems – Identifies areas of reduced blood flow or damaged heart tissue.
- Brain Disorders – Detects Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, or brain tumors.
- Infections and Inflammation – Highlights abnormal metabolic activity linked to infection.
In short, PET scans reveal abnormal metabolic activity, making them useful for early detection and treatment planning.
How to Prepare for a PET Scan:
- Fasting:
Don’t eat anything for at least 4–6 hours before the scan (usually only water is allowed). This helps improve image accuracy. - Avoid Strenuous Activity:
Refrain from heavy exercise 24 hours before the scan, as it may affect scan results. - Wear Comfortable Clothing:
Wear loose, comfortable clothes without metal (zippers, buttons). You may be asked to change into a gown. - Inform Your Doctor:
Let them know if you're:- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Allergic to any substances
- Claustrophobic (you may need a mild sedative)
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water before and after the scan to help flush the radiotracer from your body.
Following these steps helps ensure a safe and accurate scan.

A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive material, called a tracer, which is injected into the body. This tracer emits positrons, which are detected by the scanner to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures.
PET scans are commonly used to detect cancer, evaluate heart disease, examine brain disorders, and assess the effectiveness of treatments for various conditions.
No, a PET scan is not painful. The process involves injecting a tracer and then lying still while the scanner takes images. Some people may experience mild discomfort during the injection.
A PET scan typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, but the entire process, including preparation, may take a few hours.
PET scans are generally safe. The amount of radioactive material used is very small, and the risk of radiation exposure is minimal. However, pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding should consult their doctor before undergoing the procedure.
The cost of a PET scan varies, but on average, it can range from 12k to 25k, depending on the facility and location. Insurance often covers the cost for medically necessary scans.
