Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Technologies

At Apollo Cancer Centres, our comprehensive suite of diagnostic imaging technologies represents the forefront of cancer detection and monitoring. Each system is carefully selected and integrated to provide the most accurate and detailed information for diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning.

PET-CT Technology

Our advanced PET-CT system represents a revolutionary fusion of molecular and anatomical imaging, providing unprecedented insight into cancer diagnosis and staging. This hybrid technology combines the metabolic information from PET (Positron Emission Tomography) with the detailed anatomical imaging of CT (Computed Tomography) in a single, powerful diagnostic tool.

64-Slice Imaging Excellence

The 64-slice CT capability at Apollo Cancer Centres represents a significant advancement in diagnostic imaging technology. This sophisticated system delivers unprecedented anatomical detail at the sub-millimeter level, enabling our radiologists to visualize the finest structures with exceptional clarity. The rapid scan acquisition significantly reduces examination time, enhancing patient comfort while maintaining superior image quality. Our advanced protocols ensure reduced radiation exposure without compromising diagnostic accuracy. The system excels in comprehensive volumetric imaging, providing detailed three-dimensional views of anatomical structures that aid in precise surgical and treatment planning.
