Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

1Can I get a DOTA PET-CT Scan in Sangareddy?

DOTA PET-CT Scan isn’t available in Sangareddy itself. CION arranges it at a partner centre, usually in Hyderabad, and your doctor tells you where to go. Your consultation and follow-up can be in Sangareddy or by video.

2How is it different from a normal PET-CT?

A normal PET-CT uses a sugar tracer. A DOTA scan uses a tracer made for neuroendocrine tumours, which often don’t show well on a normal PET-CT.

3Is it covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover scans that a doctor has asked for. CION’s team helps check your cover.
