A PET-CT scan (Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography) is an advanced imaging technique that merges two powerful technologies—PET, which reveals how your body’s cells and tissues are functioning by capturing metabolic activity, and CT, which provides detailed anatomical images of organs, bones, and tissues. During the procedure, a small amount of radioactive tracer (usually a form of glucose called FDG) is injected into the body, and as cancer cells and other active tissues absorb more of this tracer, the scanner detects these areas of high activity; the combined PET-CT images then allow doctors to accurately identify the location, size, and behavior of diseases, aiding in precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of various conditions.

A Brachytherapy is an advanced form of internal radiation therapy used to treat cancer by placing a small radioactive source directly inside or near the tumor. This targeted technique delivers a high dose of radiation precisely to the cancer cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, allowing for effective treatment with fewer side effects. It is commonly used for cancers of the cervix, prostate, breast, and other localized areas, and can be performed as a temporary or permanent implant depending on the type and stage of the disease.

A 4D CT scan is an advanced imaging technology that captures detailed three-dimensional images of the body along with the added dimension of time, showing motion such as breathing or organ movement in real time. This dynamic imaging helps doctors accurately plan radiation therapy by visualizing how tumors and surrounding organs move, ensuring precise targeting and minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues. It is especially useful in treating cancers of the chest and abdomen, where organ movement can affect the accuracy of treatment.

A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is an advanced and highly precise imaging test that measures bone mineral density (BMD) to assess bone strength and detect conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia. Using two low-dose X-ray beams, the scan provides detailed images of areas such as the spine, hips, or sometimes the whole body, allowing doctors to evaluate bone loss and fracture risk with great accuracy. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and painless, typically completed within minutes, and is widely recommended for postmenopausal women, older adults, or individuals at risk of bone diseases. Regular DEXA scans help monitor changes in bone density over time, guiding effective prevention and treatment plans for maintaining long-term bone health.
