Your Specialist Report
Why the Nuclear Medicine Specialist Matters More Than the Machine
“A PET-CT scan generates thousands of images. Making sense of them — for your specific situation — takes a specialist.”
The machine is just a tool. What it cannot do is read those images in the context of who you are.
That is the nuclear medicine specialist’s job. And it is a skill built over years of subspecialty training in nuclear medicine and oncology — not something any machine can replicate.

Years of subspecialty training behind every reading
A nuclear medicine specialist completes years of postgraduate training specifically in PET-CT interpretation and oncologic imaging. Every reading draws on thousands of prior cases — pattern recognition that only comes with deep, focused experience.
Your full story, read into every scan
Your history, your symptoms, your previous scans, your biopsy results — a nuclear medicine specialist reads all of this alongside the images. A 5 mm node in an otherwise healthy person means something very different in a patient three months post-chemotherapy. Only a human expert can make that distinction.
The findings that change everything
Incidental findings — a lung nodule spotted during a prostate cancer scan, an unexpected lesion on the liver — can change a patient’s care pathway entirely. A trained nuclear medicine specialist looks at the whole image, not just what was asked for. That thoroughness has saved lives.
A report built for treatment decisions, not filing
A good nuclear medicine specialist’s report does not describe images — it answers clinical questions. Is this cancer? Has it spread? Is the treatment working? The answers are structured for staging (TNM), treatment response (RECIST), and tumour board review. That structured report is what your oncologist acts on.
What You Get
What’s Included With Your Scan
The scan and the radiotracer
Your PET-CT scan at the Vijaya Diagnostics centre, and the radiotracer.
An oncologist-reviewed report
A report reviewed by a CION oncologist — provided as both a digital and a hard copy.
A free ₹950 consultation
A free cancer consultation worth ₹950 after your scan — an oncologist goes through your reports with you, at no cost.
A free written second opinion
A free written second opinion for cancer patients, reviewed by our team.
Did you know?
A PET-CT scan combines two scans in one — a PET scan that shows how your tissues are working and a CT scan that shows their structure. Together they give a clearer, more accurate picture than either scan alone. A small, safe amount of tracer collects in more active areas of the body, so they show up clearly on the scan.
Preparing for Your Scan
How to Prepare for Your PET-CT Scan
A PET-CT scan is simple and painless, and a little preparation helps it go smoothly. Here’s what to do before, during and after your scan — our team will also confirm everything with you when you book.
Before your scan
- Avoid eating or drinking anything except water for 6 hours before your scan.
- Tell our team about any medications you’re taking — ideally at least a day before your scan.
- Your serum creatinine (a measure of kidney function) should be within the normal range; share any recent test results if you have them.
- If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, make sure it’s well under control before your scan.
- Be ready to lie still inside the scanner — an enclosed space — for about 15 minutes.
- Bring any previous PET-CT reports and your other medical reports, so we can compare and review them.
During and after your scan
A few simple steps help your scan go smoothly and keep everyone comfortable:
- Wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing — you’ll be asked to change into a gown.
- Remove all metal items, including jewellery, belts and similar.
- Try to stay completely still during the scan.
- For about 6 to 12 hours afterwards, avoid close contact with children under the age of 5.
- Drink plenty of water after your scan to help flush the tracer from your body.
- Avoid any strenuous exercise for 24 hours after your scan.

About the Scan
What Is a PET-CT Scan?
A PET-CT scan combines two scans in one — a PET scan that shows how your tissues are working and a CT scan that shows their structure. Together they give a clearer, more accurate picture than either scan alone. A small, safe amount of a tracer is used, which collects in more active areas of the body so they show up clearly on the scan.
Through CION, your PET-CT scan is performed at the Vijaya Diagnostics centre, with your report reviewed by an oncologist so the findings are explained in the context of your overall care.
What It Shows
What a PET-CT Scan Shows
A PET-CT scan is used most often in cancer care. Your doctor may recommend one to:
- Find a suspected cancer and see how far it has spread (staging).
- Check whether a treatment is working.
- Look for any return of disease after treatment.
- Help with some heart and brain conditions, depending on what your doctor is looking for.
