About PET Scan
A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive tracer to detect cellular activity in the body. It is most commonly used in oncology to detect cancer, determine whether cancer has spread, and monitor treatment effectiveness. PET scans are often combined with CT scans (PET/CT).
Understanding Your Bill
PET scan bills include the radiotracer material, facility/technical fee, and physician interpretation. PET/CT combination scans are more expensive. Prior authorization from insurance is usually required.
