What PET-CT Is Used For

Staging newly diagnosed cancer (lymphoma, lung, colorectal, etc.)

Assessing treatment response after chemo/radiation/immunotherapy

Detecting recurrence in patients with rising tumor markers

Searching for unknown primary when metastasis found without origin

Radiotherapy planning (biological target volume)

Not Recommended for Routine Screening

Whole-body PET-CT is NOT recommended for healthy individuals as routine cancer screening due to radiation exposure (approximately 15-25 mSv) and high false-positive rate. For healthy individuals, use age-appropriate screening: low-dose CT for lung (smokers), mammography, colonoscopy, etc.
