PET/CT Scan

PET/CT is a noninvasive test, using radioactive isotopes, that provides unique information about the body’s metabolism, cell function and exact location of a disease — information not available through CT or MRI alone — in a single scan. This lets your physician examine your entire body at once. These tests can take two to three hours.  

Lake Health’s PET/CT services are accredited by the American College of Radiology.  Lake Health offers the only PET/CT unit in Lake County at the Mentor Health Center.

A PET/CT scan is performed by appointment only and requires a physician order.

Preparing for Your PET/CT

Follow these tips for a successful PET/CT scan:

  • Don’t eat for four hours before the exam.
  • You may be asked to refrain from exercise for 24 hours prior to this test.
  • Drink 24-30 ounces of water spaced over two hours before the scan. Black, decaffeinated coffee (no cream, no sugar) is also acceptable.
  • Take your usual medications unless directed otherwise.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  • Tell your physician and technologist if you are diabetic.
  • Tell your physician and technologist if you are or may be pregnant.
  • Please register 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Bring your physician order and a complete list of your medications, vitamins and supplements to your appointment.
