Common PET CT Scan Misconceptions
Let’s clear up the myths and give you the facts about your scan.
“The radiation in a PET CT is extremely dangerous”
FACT: A low, safe dose of radioactive tracer is used, which your body clears quickly. It’s regulated by AERB for patient safety.
“I will be radioactive and a danger to my family”
FACT: The tracer decays rapidly. You’ll receive simple instructions to follow for a few hours as a precaution.
“The procedure is painful and invasive”
FACT: The scan is painless. The only discomfort is a small needle prick for the tracer injection, similar to a blood test.
“PET CT scans are only for finding cancer”
FACT: While crucial for oncology, it’s also used to assess heart conditions and neurological disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions About PET CT
A PET CT is a powerful two-in-one scan. The CT part provides a detailed anatomical map of your body, while the PET part highlights metabolic activity (how your cells are working). Doctors use it to get a complete picture of what’s happening inside, which is crucial for accurately detecting, staging, and monitoring conditions like cancer.
Yes, it is very safe. You’ll receive a very small, low-dose radioactive tracer called FDG. This material has a very short “half-life,” meaning it decays and is naturally cleared from your body within a few hours. The doses used are well within safety limits set by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB).
The scan itself is completely painless. You just lie still on a comfortable table as it moves through the scanner. The only discomfort is a small needle prick when the tracer is injected, which feels just like a standard blood test or IV insertion.
You should plan for a total visit of about 2 to 3 hours. This includes time for the tracer injection, a waiting period of about 60-90 minutes (called the “uptake period”) for the tracer to circulate, and then the actual scan which takes about 20-30 minutes.
Yes. As a precaution, you’ll be advised to avoid close, prolonged contact with pregnant women and small children for a few hours after your scan. Drinking plenty of water will help flush the tracer from your system more quickly. Our staff will give you clear and simple instructions to follow.
