PET scan
Positron emission tomography — functional imaging showing metabolic activity, mostly used in oncology staging.
PET (positron emission tomography) shows metabolic activity by detecting radioactive tracers (usually FDG — fluorodeoxyglucose). Cancer cells take up more glucose, so they show up bright. PET/CT combines anatomy and function. PET-MRI is newer, less radiation, better soft-tissue detail. Standard in cancer staging and response monitoring.
