Follow on Google News | New Bone Imaging Technology Now Available for Cancer Patients in LodiPET/CT imaging technology to provide more precise radiation therapy for cancer that has metastasized to bone
By: Ben Schaffer Cancer Institute Bone imaging scans using PET/CT equipment provides whole body views of the skeleton that are an important tool for the detection and evaluation of metastatic bone cancer. This technology helps physicians diagnose, stage and treat cancer with more accuracy than ever before. It also reduces the need for invasive procedures, like biopsy or surgery, and monitors patients’ response to treatment to ensure the treatment is working. “PET/CT exams will allow us to pinpoint the location of cancer within the body before finalizing treatment plans, offering greater peace of mind for patients and their families,” says Travers J. McLoughlin, M.D., Board Certified Radiation Oncologist and Medical Director at Ben Schaffer Cancer Institute in Lodi, CA. “This new technology will allow us to provide more precise radiation therapy for our patients.” The PET/CT exams will be available at Valley P.E.T. Institute, located at 2407 West Vine Street, Lodi, CA 95242.
