Urology

Neurology
Epilepsy
Epilepsy: PET/CT has helped advance the diagnosis of refractory epilepsy leading to cures in certain cases. PET/CT is one of the most accurate methods available to localize the areas of the brain causing epileptic seizures and to determine if surgery is a viable treatment option.

Ultrasound
PET/CT complements all other imaging modalities including routine X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI, and conventional CT; however PET/CT can often detect pathology before it becomes visible with conventional imaging modalities because metabolic changes usually precede anatomic ones. APS uses MIM Viewer for viewing PET/CT images online, which is better for displaying fused images than most if not all PACS-based web viewers. Reports are typically available within 24-48 hours.
MRI
PET/CT is a way of imaging how the body is functioning and accurately showing the location of those functions. CT and MRI, which are used to visualize the structure of the body, do not provide images of metabolic activity. In some cases, PET/CT can identify abnormal activity before it is visible on CT or MRI. When used in conjunction with these other imaging modalities, PET/CT can provide an even more comprehensive picture of the body function.
Radiology
Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc., doing business as Alliance HealthCare Radiology, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Alliance”) complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. Alliance does not exclude people or treat them differently because of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.
X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
PET/CT is a nuclear medicine procedure. The patient is injected with a radiopharmaceutical which concentrates at the site of metabolic activity. A sophisticated detector images the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body, thus imaging tissue function. PET can detect the spread of malignant tumors and differentiate cancerous tissue from benign tumors and scar tissue. When coupled with simultaneous CT providing high quality anatomic landmarks the PET/CT provides increased diagnostic accuracy. This can have a dramatic impact on patient diagnosis, treatment, and response to therapy, patient care planning and care.
Computed Tomography
At APS, PET Scans and CT scans are done simultaneously for a more accurate reading of the patient’s findings. With a combined PET/CT, the PET image provides a measurement of metabolic activity and the CT image provides a detailed picture of the internal anatomy.
Chemotherapy
An important benefit of PET/CT is its high-definition anatomically specific imaging which can detect tissue abnormalities even in the absence of structural changes. The detection of small amounts of malignant tissue, often undetectable by conventional imaging techniques, can have a major impact on the choice of treatment for patients, which may involve drug therapy, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of all available options.
Radiation Therapy
PET/CT measures metabolism, unlike MR or CT, which “see” structure. It therefore complements these modalities, as it can often detect an active tumor before it can be seen on MR or CT. PET/CT can also often differentiate malignant from non-malignant masses such as scar tissue formed from surgery or radiation therapy. PET/CT is often used in conjunction with an MR through “fusion” to provide a full three-dimensional view of an organ and the location of cancer within that organ, by superimposing the functional and structural information for PET onto CT or MR.
