The study is the gold standard in the diagnosis of oncological pathology

Indications for positron emission tomography:

  • Determining the prevalence of cancer;
  • Detection of recurrence and/or ongoing progression of the disease;
  • Identification of primary foci of the metastatic process and/or paraneoplastic syndrome;
  • Differentiation of benign/malignant tumors;
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, combination therapy) ;
  • Choosing the optimal location for a biopsy;
