15 Aug
Summary
- New digital PET imaging system launched in South Tamil Nadu.
- Advanced system reduces radiotracer needs and enhances image quality.
- Fusion imaging offers enhanced diagnostic possibilities for various diseases.
A new digital PET imaging system, a first in south Tamil Nadu, has been launched at KGS Scans. Consultant radiologist K. G. Srinivasan announced on Saturday that this advanced system facilitates reduced radiotracer requirements and superior image quality. The initiative integrates fusion imaging with PETCT and PETMRI compatibility, enabling advanced nuclear medicine studies like FDG PET.
The new system utilizes specialized isotopes such as FAPI PET for identifying 'silent' tumors and DOPA PET for early Parkinson's disease diagnosis. PSMA PET is also available for prostate cancer detection, offering theranostic benefits. Fusion imaging combines PET's functional insights with MRI's detailed anatomical information.
Operating in Madurai for over two decades, KGS Scans aims to provide affordable, accessible, and high-quality imaging. This latest technological implementation is expected to expedite diagnoses, making a tangible difference for patients.
