Naples Leading Provider of PET/CT and Nuclear Medicine Imaging
Nuclear Medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses small amounts of radioactive materials (or tracers) to help diagnose a variety of diseases.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans are an advanced type of Nuclear Medicine imaging commonly used to help detect, diagnose, stage, and monitor cancer, as well as evaluate certain heart conditions and neurological disorders. PET imaging may help identify early signs of disease, assess how a condition is responding to treatment, and provide physicians with valuable information to guide patient care.
Cerianna PET
Naples provides all types of PET exams including:
- Cardiac PET stress test: Can detect/assess heart attack risk, coronary artery disease, scar tissue or damage after a heart attack.
- Amyloid PET: Visualizes the degree of amyloid plaque deposition in the brain, which can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s dementia.
- FDG PET: Helps find cancer, check if it has spread, or see if treatment is working. Can also evaluate heart muscle damage or brain conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
- Dotatate PET/CT: Used to detect neuroendocrine cancer in the body.
- Cerianna PET: Detects estrogen receptor (ER)-positive lesions in adults with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
- PSMA PET: Visualizes and more accurately stages prostate cancer to assist with more precise treatment management.
