What is a MRI Scan?
Integra Radionics recently unveiled version 4.0 of their XKnife(tm) radiosurgery software, designed to assist physicians in treating tumors precisely in the brain and other locations. The system includes three-dimensional treatment planning software, stereotactic localizers/immobilizers/mini multileaf collimators as well as quality assurance instrumentation – it has already been deployed at over 350 hospitals globally.

What is a PET Scan?
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans provide a snapshot of how well tissues and organs are functioning, as well as finding areas which may be cancerous. A PET test involves administering an injection of a tracer, which contains radioactive material in sugar form that absorbs into active cells such as those associated with growing tumors; the radioactivity then emits tiny bursts of radiation which the PET scanner detects and records via photos.
Technologists will administer an injection into your vein at a room with a PET scanner. After being administered an injection of tracer medication, you’ll sit or lie still for 45 to 90 minutes while it passes through your body – during this time you should avoid movements that might blur pictures. Children may feel anxious or have difficulty staying still for this long. In such instances, child life specialists or care team members can teach relaxation or calming techniques as well as providing comfort items like stuffed animals or blankets as ways to stay calm; your child can bring one or both comfort items along when attending their PET scan appointment.
Once your scan is complete, you will drink water to flush out the tracer from your body through urine and stool (poop) within two to ten hours. However, you may experience dizziness or lethargic feelings due to radioactive materials being in your system for several hours after drinking water with tracer.
PET scanning can do more than detect cancerous cells – it can also identify other conditions that might require surgery or medication treatment, such as pancreatic cysts or tumors and identify the ideal place for biopsy procedures. Furthermore, it can identify lesions on the brain which cause epileptic seizures so doctors can determine the most effective ways to treat them.
PET scanning can assist in diagnosing tumors at various stages and stages of growth and spread. Furthermore, it can detect infections or health conditions which could compromise treatment options.
PET scan results may be inaccurate if your pancreatic cancer has inflammation or other abnormalities that affect chemical balances in your body, as well as false results if you are diabetic and have high blood glucose levels, or consumed large meals prior to testing.
