Benefits of PET-CT at HC Marbella

A powerful diagnosis for effective treatment

 

At HC Marbella we understand that an early diagnosis can save your life, , we therefore use the most advanced technology to improve diagnostic ability. Our objective is to use equipment that guarantees the best treatment option for each patient.
 
PET-CT plays a fundamental part in the planning and management of oncological and neurological disease. It ensures that your medical specialist has the necessary information to tackle your disease both at diagnosis and during its course, providing information on response to treatment. Afterwards it is used a method of monitoring, alerting us to possible recurrence..
  
HC Marbella’s new PET-CT delivers this highly valuable information more precisely, safely and quickly and with better image quality.

More effective
More precise information

It detects lesion which are 36% smaller

It offers better spatial resolution and visualisation of lesions, detecting lesions of up to 3 mm. More precise information for an earlier diagnosis and a more definitive treatment strategy.

Superior imaging quality

Time-of-flight technology, increases contrast, diminishing imaging noise.
 
It improves the imaging contrast by 200%, doubling the image quality.

time of flight

Lung cancer diagnosis
respiratoy gating

Lung cancer diagnosis

Enables PET-CT synchronisation with the patient’s breathing, providing providing better image quality during movement.
 
More accurate diagnosis, very effective for the detection of lung micronodules in lung cancer.

Prevents unnecessary lung biopsies

80%of lung cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage.
 
This PET-CT enables early detection of the disease including when the nodule is so small that it cannot be biopsied.
 
Helping to prevent unnecessary surgery in up to 1 in 5 patients with suspected non-small cell lung cancer.

fewer biopsy

Safer
fewer radiopharmaceutical

Lower dose of radiation

Reduces the amount of radiopharmaceutical injected by up to 50%, without compromising imaging quality.

Better image quality

Efficient, high quality CT.
 
Thanks to its design and geometry, it achieves minimal exposure and maximum dose utilisation. In addition to a more rapid scanning response, less time is required in the machine, without losing image quality.
 
In paediatric patients it enables the performance of ultra-low-dose investigations.

 

minimal exposur

More comfortable
menos claustrofobia

Less claustrophobic

Shorter test time (from 5 to 7 minutes less).
 
Minimises the patient’s claustrophobia, thanks to the reduced tunnel length and the 70 cm opening.
 
Better patient positioning facility.

IMAR system

Reaches more patients

Iterative metal artefact reduction (iMAR) system for patients with implants such as pacemakers, dental implants…
 

Minimises glare, better imaging quality.
