PET Scan Combined With CT

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 78814

Combines two scans in one session: a PET study, which shows how chemically active tissue is after a small dose of radioactive tracer, and a CT taken at the same time, which shows detailed anatomy. Overlaying them pinpoints exactly where any unusual activity sits. It is most often used to find and follow cancer, and to judge whether treatment is working.
