Radioactive Scan For Cancer In Rohtak
Radioactive scans for cancer typically refer to imaging tests that use radioactive substances (radiotracers) to detect cancerous cells or tumors in the body. PET scans involve injecting a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) into the bloodstream. Cancer cells tend to absorb more glucose than normal cells, so they show up as bright spots on the PET scan images. Similar to PET scans, SPECT scans use a radiotracer to create 3D images of the body. They are often used to detect specific types of cancer or to assess the spread of cancer. This type of scan is used specifically for thyroid cancer. Patients ingest or are injected with radioactive iodine, which is taken up by thyroid cells. The scan can then detect any abnormal thyroid tissue, such as cancerous tumors.
