PET (Positron Emission Tomography) 

Scan analysisPET is a nuclear procedure that produces pictures of the body’s biological functions. PET can detect certain diseases before other imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI, because PET captures chemical and physiological changes related to metabolism, rather than gross anatomy and structure, which are obtained by CT and MRI. This is important since functional changes are often present before structural changes in tissues. PET images may therefore demonstrate pathological changes long before they would be evident by CT or MRI.
