Molecular Imaging in Nuclear Medicine is done either under a PET/CT or a Gamma camera. PET/CT is a hybrid imaging system – the CT scan provides high quality anatomical images and PET scan provides high quality functional images. Software algorithms are used to fuse and display high quality 3-Dimensional PET/CT images.

We take pride in introducing the first ever PET/CT imaging facility in Shivamogga, with the latest technology in PET/CT – the SIEMENS BIOGRAPH HORIZON.
