About PET
Advanced Positron Emission Tomography for Early and Accurate Diagnosis
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) at KGS Scan Center provides detailed insights into the functional activity of organs and tissues, helping doctors detect diseases at an early stage.
Unlike conventional imaging, PET scans identify changes at the cellular level, making them highly effective for diagnosis and treatment planning. Our PET scan services are safe, precise, and designed for accurate clinical evaluation.

Before Your Scan
How to Prepare for Your PET Scan
PET scan preparation is important because the scan evaluates metabolic activity. Our team will confirm your exact instructions during booking.
01
Bring your doctor's referralCarry the referral, previous scan reports, biopsy reports, prescriptions and relevant medical records.
02
Follow fasting instructionsFasting is commonly required before FDG PET. Our team will confirm the exact fasting window for your scan.
03
Inform us about diabetesTell the team if you have diabetes or take insulin or glucose-control medication, as timing may need coordination.
04
Avoid strenuous activityHeavy exercise before a PET scan can affect tracer uptake. Follow the activity guidance shared during booking.
05
Arrive on timePET scans require registration, tracer administration, uptake waiting time and imaging, so punctual arrival is important.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PET scans at KGS.
What is a PET scan used for?
PET scans evaluate functional and metabolic activity in the body. They are commonly used in oncology, neurology and cardiology for diagnosis, staging and treatment planning.
What is the difference between PET and PET-CT?
PET shows metabolic activity, while CT provides anatomical detail. PET-CT combines both, helping doctors localize abnormal activity more precisely.
Why is fasting needed before PET?
For FDG PET, fasting helps control glucose-related tracer uptake so the scan can better evaluate abnormal metabolic activity.
How long does a PET scan visit take?
Total visit time can be longer than routine scans because it includes preparation, tracer administration, uptake waiting time and imaging.
When will I receive my report?
Report timing depends on the study and urgency. Our team will share the expected timeline during your visit.
