PETCypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital is proud to announce that we are now offering PET-CT imaging services at the hospital campus.

A dual-purpose imaging device, PET-CT is the combination of PET ( positron emission tomography ) and CT ( computed tomography ) imaging techniques within a single machine. The individual scans, which are taken virtually simultaneously, can be presented separately or as a single, overlapping, or "fused" image. The two techniques present different types of information about the human body: PET shows metabolic or chemical activity in the body; CT shows the body's anatomical structures.

PET-CT imaging is designed to provide a more reliable alternative to the traditional side-by-side visual comparison of PET and CT images. The unique clinical imaging modality allows for the diagnosis, staging and restaging of cancer patients. It can be used to differentiate post-treatment scar from recurrent tumors and to evaluate the effectiveness of radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
