- LesionsWe also very recently upgraded our positron emission tomography (PET) scanner to the most advanced model on the market. It integrates a high-performance PET and 64-slice computed tomography (CT) into one machine and shows the highest possible resolution for each organ. Accurate staging of cancer requires early detection of even small lesions and the combination of PET and CT is important because it allows for a more accurate diagnosis of disease than either CT or PET alone.
