Meet Alexandra Imaging PET/CT
Cancer has become the biggest burden to human life. It is now the leading cause of death surpassing heart disease. Over the years the incidence of new cases has risen dramatically. The good news, however, is that the Detection and Management of Cancer has also improved significantly. Enter PET/CT Hybrid Scanner (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography). This modality for detection of cancers has dramatically changed how we treat it.
PET/CT which involves scanning a patient after the injection of a specially modified glucose molecule is able to detect the cancer at a very early stage.
Not only is this a giant step forward in making the diagnosis, it also allows for the accurate assessment of the progress of the cancer during and after treatment, thus, giving the doctors the advantage of modifying treatment much earlier in stage of the cancer before it becomes too late and ineffective.
A PET/CT scan is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that has never been available in the Caribbean until now.
