Guide

PET-CT is often used for cancer screening, staging, recurrence assessment and treatment planning. International patients can access PET-CT at some hospital international departments and screening centers.

Costs depend on the hospital, city, tracer, scan area, and report language. A separate doctor visit may add charges. We can prepare records, contact the hospital, and arrange an interpreter. A doctor decides whether the scan is needed.

01

What is PET-CT used for?

PET-CT is not a routine test for everyone. It may be useful for certain cancer risks, abnormal findings, staging, or follow-up. A doctor should decide whether it fits your history, symptoms, and past imaging.

02

Main cost factors

Cost usually depends on hospital level, city, scan scope, tracer, specialist interpretation and bilingual support. A broader checkup, cancer review, or admission plan may add separate charges.

  • Hospital and city differences
  • Scan scope and tracer type
  • Specialist explanation and English-ready summary

Documents to prepare

Prepare passport details, medical history, recent results, past scans, and the scan reason. Cancer patients should also provide pathology, staging, medicines, and treatment history. The doctor then decides whether PET-CT is needed.
