Brain PET Scan of Energy Use

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 78608

A scan that shows how actively different parts of the brain are using energy. A small amount of a radioactive tracer is given by vein, and a scanner maps where the brain takes it up, producing images of areas that are more or less active than normal. It is used in the assessment of conditions such as memory disorders and seizures.
