Before your visit

A DOTA PET-CT Scan may be advised…

  • To find and stage neuroendocrine tumours (NETs)
  • To check whether a NET has spread
  • To see if a NET will respond to targeted radiation treatment
  • To check how treatment is working
  • To look for a NET that has come back

Your doctor explains why the scan is needed and what it can and can’t show.

Your checklist

What to bring

  • The doctor’s request for the scan
  • Your previous scans and reports, with the CDs, so the new scan can be compared
  • Recent kidney function (creatinine) and sugar reports, if your doctor asked for them
  • A list of the medicines you take now
  • Photo ID, and your insurance card if you have one

Questions to ask your doctor

  • Why do I need this scan?
  • How should I prepare?
  • Is there any radiation, and is it safe for me?
  • When will I get the result?
  • What will it cost, and does my insurance cover it?

Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

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

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