The normal diagnostic procedures like the X-Ray are used for taking images of the internal organs of the body. The CT scan is an advancement over the X-Ray in that it provides a 3 Dimensional view of the bones and tissues. However, for certain diseases like cancer, where the doctor wants to see the images at a cellular level or check for the activity at a cellular level, a simple CT scan will not suffice. This is where a PET scan comes into the picture.
In combination with the CT scan, PET gives a comprehensive idea of the chemical activity at a cellular level within the body. It is a known medical fact that cancerous cells have a higher chemical activity than non-cancerous ones. This property is utilized to identify their presence with the help of a PET scan. During the PET scan, the patient is given a tracer, which is a radioactive drug combined with glucose. This tracer can be administered orally, injected or inhaled, depending on which body part is to be examined by the PET scan
During the PET scan, the patient is given a tracer, which is a radioactive drug combined with glucose. This tracer can be administered orally, injected or inhaled, depending on which body part is to be examined by the PET scan. Once inside the body, the tracer drug travels to different parts and collects in the areas that have a higher rate of chemical activity. The images are taken to track the presence of the tracer drug within the body.
The areas with a high rate of chemical activity appear as bright spots in the images, thanks to the presence of a higher quantity of the tracer drug. These images are captured in the associated computer and then analysed by the radiologist. Due to this particular property, the PET scan is extremely crucial in the identification of cancerous cells within the body. It is also used to study the impact of medicine and measure the growth or reduction of these cells over the course of treatment.
Apart from the obvious use in the scenario of cancer identification and treatment, the PET scan is also very useful in evaluating and ascertaining various heart conditions and brain-related issues. It is a critical test and is extremely useful in the identification of severe diseases, as mentioned above. However, it is not the first line of diagnosis for any medical condition and is referred to only when the doctor feels the need for such involved diagnostics.
The biggest advantage of the PET scan is its use of molecular diagnostics and combining it with imaging to present a clearer picture. This leads to early identification of any potential life-threatening issues, thereby leading to a higher success rate in their treatment.

Especially to Dr Surbhi Bhatia L the root canal specialist she was very patient with me when i was very emotional and very much in pain during the procedures, she never behaved like she is tired of me instead she helped me to see that all the pain will be worth it in the end. And all of them together are a great team patient, caring, smiling.
Had my teeth fillings done on 31st Dec. My second ever dentist visit in my life so was very sceptical and nervous. The Dr who treated was very patient with me. Gave me time to relax before starting with the next tooth. Was not in a hurry to get it done with, and took her time to ensure I was comfortable. I had nothing to complain about as it was a good experience and appreciate they take customer service a top priority. I hope they keep it up.
