Advanced PET/CT imaging in our own center, so diagnosis, staging, and monitoring happen where your care already does.
At the Wellness Imaging Center, we provide advanced molecular imaging to help physicians detect, stage, and monitor cancer and other conditions with greater precision. Our imaging services combine detailed anatomical information with molecular and functional imaging, giving your care team valuable insight into what is happening inside the body.
As part of Wellness Oncology & Hematology, our imaging center supports a more connected approach to cancer care, allowing patients to receive advanced diagnostic imaging as part of their overall treatment journey.
FDG PET/CT is one of the most widely used imaging tools for cancer detection, staging, treatment planning, and monitoring. The scan identifies areas of increased metabolic activity that may help physicians evaluate many different types of cancer, including lymphoma, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and other malignancies.
FDG PET/CT may be used to detect and stage certain cancers, determine whether cancer has spread, evaluate response to treatment, and monitor for possible recurrence.
PSMA PET/CT is an advanced imaging technique specifically designed to detect prostate cancer cells. It can provide highly detailed information that helps physicians determine the location and extent of prostate cancer.
PSMA PET/CT may be recommended for initial staging, suspected recurrence, or treatment planning and monitoring.
DOTATATE PET/CT is a specialized molecular imaging scan used to locate and evaluate certain neuroendocrine tumors. By targeting somatostatin receptors commonly found on these tumors, the scan can help physicians identify disease that may be difficult to detect with conventional imaging alone.
Amyloid PET/CT imaging can help physicians evaluate the presence of amyloid plaques in the brain, which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease and certain other forms of cognitive decline.
The results are interpreted together with a patient’s symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic testing and are not used alone to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.
For patients receiving care at Wellness Oncology & Hematology, access to advanced imaging helps our physicians closely follow disease progression and make informed treatment decisions.
From diagnosis and staging to evaluating treatment response and ongoing monitoring, our goal is to make sophisticated imaging part of a coordinated, personalized, and compassionate care experience.
Your physician brings imaging findings back to your treatment plan and explains what they mean for the next step in your care.
Your physician and nursing team follow your imaging and laboratory results together throughout treatment.
Your physician will go over your imaging results with you, and with the family members you would like present.
If your physician has recommended PET/CT imaging, our team can help you understand the next steps and prepare for your appointment.
