Trusted Advanced PET CT Scan made affordable , booked in just a few clicks
A PET-CT scan is a medical test that combines two scans:
Together, they give a complete view of both the structure and activity of your organs. It’s commonly used to detect cancer, check heart or brain problems, or find infections. You get a small tracer injection, lie in a scanner for 20–60 minutes, and the test is done. It’s safe with minimal radiation.
Doctors may advise a PET CT scan to:
✔️ Detect cancer and see if it has spread
✔️ Check how well cancer treatment is working
✔️ Diagnose heart problems like reduced blood flow
✔️ Identify brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s
The average cost of a PET CT scan in Bangalore ranges from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000, depending on:
Type of scan (whole body, brain, cardiac)
Radiotracer used
Hospital or diagnostic centre location
At Koshikaa Diagnostics, we provide affordable PET CT scans with clear pricing and no hidden charges.
Bone PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography) using NaF-18 is a diagnostic imaging technique used to assess bone health and detect abnormalities such as fractures, infections, tumors, and metastases. NaF-18 is a radioactive tracer that binds to bone mineral, allowing PET-CT scans to highlight areas of increased bone activity or metabolism. This imaging modality is particularly useful in oncology for staging and monitoring skeletal metastases and in orthopedics for evaluating bone diseases and injuries.
Regional PET-CT is a scan that focuses on one part of the body instead of the whole body. It combines PET and CT to show both how that area looks and how it works.
PET cardiac viability imaging is a scan used to check if the heart muscle is still healthy and active in people with heart problems like blocked arteries.
FDG PET is a scan that shows how active your cells are. A small amount of radioactive sugar (FDG) is injected into your blood. Active cells, like cancer cells, absorb more FDG and show up brighter in the scan.
PSMA PET/CT scan is a special test used mainly for prostate cancer. A small amount of a radioactive tracer is injected, which sticks to prostate cancer cells. The PET scan shows where the cancer is active, and the CT scan shows the exact location inside the body.
DOTANOC PET/CT scan is a special test used to find and monitor neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). A small amount of a tracer called DOTANOC is injected, which sticks to NET cells. The PET scan shows where the tumor is active, and the CT scan shows its exact location in the body.
FAPI is a special tracer used in cancer scans. It targets a protein called FAP, which is found in support cells around tumors. These cells are often active in many types of cancer.
Utilizing PET CT Scan in Bangalore enables effective visualization of various structures and conditions within the body,
Bones
Brain
Muscles
Cysts or fluid collections
Soft-tissue masses

A PET CT scan (Positron Emission Tomography) or pet scan in bangalore is a specialized imaging technique that measures molecular activity and processes in the body. This powerful test evaluates essential functions like metabolism, which helps in assessing the health of your organs. A small amount of a safe radioactive substance called a radiotracer is injected, which our PET scan in Bangalore detects to identify abnormal metabolic activity, providing precise diagnoses far better than separate scans would allow.
PET scans in Bangalore are particularly helpful for detecting cancers and tumors, as these cells light up due to their higher metabolic rates. This imaging can assist in identifying cancer, determining its spread, and checking treatment effectiveness. Additionally, PET CT scans can reveal solid tumors in areas like the brain, breast, and lungs. They are also useful for evaluating heart conditions by showing blood flow issues and assessing brain disorders such as tumors or Alzheimer’s disease, making them a vital diagnostic tool.
For PET CT Scan in Bangalore, a radiotracer is injected, absorbed more by diseased cells. The PET scanner detects radiation, creating images of affected tissues. A PET/CT scan combines these images with X-ray images for detailed anatomical info. Preparation includes a medication list, fasting, water intake, and comfortable clothing.
Any PET CT Scan in Bangalore has potential side effects also. Radiation exposure is minimal, and water helps flush out the radiotracer. Pregnant, breastfeeding or chestfeeding individuals should avoid PET scans. Allergic reactions to radiotracer or CT scan contrast dyes are rare. Diabetic individuals may need diet and medication adjustments before the test.
About 2-3 hours including preparation and scan time.

Bone X-rays are essential for diagnosing fractures and assessing bone alignment, aiding doctors in developing treatment plans and monitoring healing progress. They provide detailed images of the skeletal system, helping identify abnormalities or injuries that may not be visible through other imaging techniques
