Diagnostic Clarity and Accuracy

At the PET/CT Department of IASO General Clinic, we invest in the most advanced technology for the accurate and early diagnosis of severe diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and neurological conditions.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is predominant in the field of molecular imaging, as it can depict the biological and biochemical mechanisms that govern the human body in vivo. Its role is crucial in personalized medicine (Precision Medicine) and in the application of targeted therapies.

How does PET contribute to oncology?

• Diagnosis
• Staging-Restaging
• Biopsy site selection
• Investigation of neoplasm   of unknown primary origin
• Assessment of the degree of malignancy
• Assessment of response to treatment
• Oncological patient   pr ognosis
• Early detection of recurrence
• Determination of radiotherapy fields.

 As a result:

The treatment direction of about 1/3 of oncological patients is changed after PET/CT imaging.

We now use many radiopharmaceuticals in daily practice for different types of cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors and other malignancies).

How does PET contribute to neurology;

• In epilepsy &
• a radiopharmaceutical is now available for the early diagnosis of dementia and particularly Alzheimer's disease, which is useful if we consider that medicines for the disease are now approved by both the FDA and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan.

How does PET contribute to cardiology;

• In viability assessment
• In the detection of myocardial ischemia
• Detection of coronary flow reserve.

The role of PET in modern imaging is now well-established, as it:

• Identifies changes at the cellular level.
• Provides early diagnosis and better treatment.
• Provides immediate access to results for rapid therapeutic intervention.
