CT & PET Scan

At Pathway Imaging, we offer state-of-the-art CT (Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans to provide your care team with highly detailed insights into your health. These imaging tools help detect disease earlier, guide treatment planning, and monitor ongoing conditions with precision.

A CT scan combines X-ray technology with computer processing to produce detailed cross-sectional images of your body. It allows physicians to clearly see bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues.

• Detecting tumors, infections, and internal injuries
• Guiding biopsies and minimally invasive procedures
• Evaluating the brain, chest, abdomen, and pelvis
• Screening for lung disease or cancer (including low-dose CT lung screening)
• Assessing blood vessel conditions such as aneurysms or blockages

A PET scan is a functional imaging test that uses a small amount of radiotracer to show how your tissues and organs are working in real time. When combined with CT (PET/CT), it offers both functional and structural information.

• Detecting and staging cancer
• Monitoring cancer treatment effectiveness
• Identifying heart disease and reduced blood flow
• Evaluating brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, seizures, or dementia

• Preparation: You may be asked to fast before your exam; special instructions will be provided at scheduling.
• During the Scan: You will lie on a table that moves through the scanner. The test is painless, though you’ll need to remain still. PET scans require a short waiting period after injection of the tracer.
• Time: CT scans typically take 10–30 minutes. PET/CT scans may take 1–2 hours including preparation time.
• After the Exam: You can return to your normal routine right away. Your results will be carefully reviewed by our board-certified radiologists and sent promptly to your physician.

• Latest-generation scanners for sharper, faster images
• Low-dose CT technology for reduced radiation exposure
• Expertise in oncology, cardiology, and neurology imaging
• Compassionate care with patient comfort as a priority
• Convenient Houston locations with easy scheduling and fast turnaround times
