What is a Whole body PET CT Scan Test in Pune ?
What is Whole body PET CT Scan?
A whole body PET CT scan measures how active cells are in different parts of the body. It uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer that highlights areas with high metabolism. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.
What does Whole body PET CT Scan show?
High uptake can show cancer, inflammation, or infection. The CT part gives detailed pictures of body structures. Together they help doctors find tumors, see if cancer has spread, and check treatment response. PET CT can also guide biopsy sites and plan radiation therapy.
What symptoms suggest Whole body PET CT Scan may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Whole body PET CT Scan when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Magarpatta, Camp, and other parts of Pune.
How is Whole body PET CT Scan done?
This is an imaging scan, not a blood or fluid test, so no sample is collected. A qualified radiographer positions you at an accredited GetVisit-partnered imaging centre in Magarpatta or Camp, Pune and captures the images in a few minutes. A radiologist reviews them and your report is made available through GetVisit.
How accurate is Whole body PET CT Scan?
GetVisit partners only with accredited imaging centres in and around Magarpatta, Camp, and Pune that use maintained, calibrated equipment and qualified radiographers. Every scan is interpreted by a qualified radiologist, and reports are accepted by hospital networks, specialists, and insurers across India.
Are there any risks to Whole body PET CT Scan?
A standard X-ray uses a very low dose of radiation considered safe for diagnostic use; ultrasound uses sound waves and involves no radiation at all. If you are or might be pregnant, tell the centre in Magarpatta or Camp, Pune beforehand so the safest approach can be chosen. There is no needle and no recovery time.
Did you know?
PET CT can also guide biopsy sites and plan radiation therapy.

What to bring:
Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.

Why Take a Whole body PET CT Scan Test in Pune ?
When does a doctor order Whole body PET CT Scan?
Whole body PET CT Scan is commonly used in cancer diagnosis, staging, and follow-up as part of an oncology imaging panel. Doctors may order it for unexplained weight loss, persistent pain, abnormal CT or MRI findings, or raised tumor markers.
Who should get Whole body PET CT Scan done in Pune?
Pune's rapidly growing population, its large IT and student communities in Hinjewadi, Baner, and Kharadi, rising lifestyle-disease rates, and seasonal monsoon infection peaks make regular preventive diagnostic testing worthwhile for residents across the city. Imaging benefits patients with pain, swelling, a palpable lump, injury, or an abnormal earlier finding, as well as those monitoring a known condition. GetVisit helps residents of Hadapsar, Kalyani Nagar, and across Pune book accredited imaging with clear pricing.
What can Whole body PET CT Scan help detect?
It helps detect primary tumors, metastasis, infection, or inflammation. Abnormal results can follow high blood sugar, recent surgery, infection, or inflammatory conditions. Family history of cancer often makes this scan more relevant.
What do Whole body PET CT Scan results mean?
Higher or positive results: A positive PET scan shows an area of increased metabolic activity, which often suggests cancer but can also reflect infection, inflammation, or recent surgery. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should Whole body PET CT Scan be repeated?
For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends , typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
What happens after Whole body PET CT Scan results are ready?
Once your results appear in your GetVisit profile, discuss them with your doctor or a GetVisit-verified specialist. Your doctor will interpret each value in the context of your full health history, current medications, and symptoms, and advise on the next step: lifestyle change, repeat testing, medication adjustment, or specialist referral. All GetVisit reports are stored permanently and can be shared with any doctor instantly.
