What is Digital PET/CT?

PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) is an advanced imaging technology that combines two powerful diagnostic tools into one comprehensive scan. The PET component detects metabolic activity at the cellular level, while CT provides detailed anatomical images.

Our United Imaging uMI 550 uses digital PET technology with LYSO 84-ring architecture (84 detector rings, 167 imaging planes) providing ≤3.5mm spatial resolution—capturing ultra-fine molecular detail that standard systems miss. HYPER Iterative reconstruction blends AI-driven methods with noise-control modeling for higher lesion detectability and superior SUV quantification accuracy. Auto-Planbox AI automatically recognizes body landmarks and generates optimized scan ranges for consistent whole-body coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PET/CT used for?
PET/CT is primarily used for cancer detection, staging, treatment monitoring, and recurrence detection. It's also valuable for evaluating certain neurological conditions (brain metabolism, seizure mapping, dementia) and cardiac assessments (myocardial perfusion, viability).
How should I prepare for a PET/CT scan?
You'll need to fast for 6 hours before your scan (water is allowed). Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before. Wear comfortable, loose clothing without metal. We'll provide detailed preparation instructions when you schedule.
How long does a PET/CT scan take?
Plan for approximately 2-3 hours total. This includes injection of the radiotracer, a 60-minute uptake period where you'll rest quietly, and the 20-30 minute scan itself. Our digital PET technology enables faster scanning while maintaining exceptional image quality.
Is the radiotracer safe?
Yes, the radiotracer (FDG) is safe and has been used in millions of PET scans. The radioactivity is minimal and leaves your body naturally within hours. The benefits of accurate diagnosis far outweigh any minimal risk.
What makes your PET/CT different?
Our United Imaging uMI 550 Digital PET/CT features ≤3.5mm resolution (superior to standard systems), HYPER Iterative reconstruction for AI-enhanced image quality, and Auto-Planbox AI for consistent whole-body coverage. This translates to better lesion detection and more accurate quantification for confident diagnosis.
Will my insurance cover PET/CT?
Most insurance plans cover PET/CT when medically necessary and ordered by a physician. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. Our team can help verify coverage and discuss payment options.
When will I receive my results?
Your physician will receive a detailed report from our board-certified nuclear medicine specialists within 24-48 hours. Your doctor will discuss the findings and next steps with you.
