In CIMED we recognize many of the benefits that PET Scan offers to the patients and to the doctors, that’s why we have the ALLEGRO (PET) PHILLIPS equipment, that allows a early detection of the illness.
For many illnesses, nuclear medical explorations will provide useful information that it is necessary to give a diagnosis and determine an adequate treatment for the patient, reducing his/her risks because:

* - Nuclear medicine is less traumatic than exploratory surgery.

* - PET Scans aren’t painful at all, and in many cases, they will reduce the necessity to have to undergo other procedures or invasive tests.

When PET Scan identifies early cellular changes, the image diagnose can detect an illness, so an early action can be taken by the doctor, before this illness becomes obvious on other image studies like a TC or RMN, that uses a higher level of radiation.
