- Why Choose Luminis Health Imaging for Your PET-CT ScanWe take every opportunity to make our PET-CT tests safer and more precise, and to provide a smoother process for you.Through our Image Wisely pledge with the American College of Radiology, we make sure we use lower radiation options whenever possible. This means we only image the area your doctor wants to see, with the lowest dose option.We know people living with cancer and other diseases have extra day-to-day stress. That's why we want to make testing as easy as we can. We offer extended daytime hours and easy online booking.Another benefit of Luminis Health Imaging is that we keep all your test results in one place. If you're a Luminis Health patient, you and your health providers can access your scan results at any time through your MyChart account.ServiceConditions/Services/Treatments PageWhat Is a PET-CT Scan?Our diagnostic imaging center uses PET-CT scans to diagnose heart disease, brain disorders and, most often, cancer. It can help doctors find cancer in the body, see if cancer has spread or check if a tumor is shrinking with treatment.For cancer patients, a technologist injects a substance called a tracer. Cancer cells absorb more of this tracer than other cells do because cancer cells are more active and use more nutrients. For dementia or heart disease, doctors use a tracer with a substance that binds to the plaque that causes these diseases.Next, a scanner detects the radioactivity in the body. In a PET scan image, cancer cells or other disease markers show up as brighter spots.Today, almost all PET scans happen at the same time as a CT scan, which shows the structures of the body. This combination provides more context than a PET scan alone – showing doctors exactly where the cancer is within the body.

This means the country's top radiology organization in the country approves our equipment, technical know-how and practices.ServiceConditions/Services/Treatments PageWe love to check out those growing babies, but did you know that ultrasounds aren't just for pregnancy?An ultrasound is a great way to see the structure of soft tissues and organs in the body. Your provider might order an ultrasound to see if you have a kidney stone or to check if you have an inflamed gallbladder.What Is an Ultrasound?Ultrasound is an imaging technology that uses sound waves. An ultrasound wand sends out safe, high-frequency sound waves (too high for the ear to hear). The sound waves bounce back at different speeds, based on the type and location of tissues they hit.The ultrasound wand captures those slightly changed sound waves as they return. Then a computer analyzes those sound waves to create a moving image.We use ultrasounds to assess blood flow, view internal organs and examine parts of the body. Common places ultrasounds look at are the abdomen, breasts, thyroid and prostate. Because the sound waves don't break through very far, ultrasounds don't offer the best view of bones or structures hidden behind a lot of soft tissue. This is why doctors only recommend ultrasound for certain reasons.Sometimes doctors try ultrasound first and then suggest another test if it doesn't help diagnose the problem.
