What is a FDG PET/CT Test in Delhi ?

What is FDG PET/CT?

FDG PET/CT measures how much a radioactive glucose tracer (FDG) is taken up by body tissues. Tissues that use more glucose, such as many cancers, infections, or inflamed areas, show higher uptake. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.

What does FDG PET/CT show?

This gives a map of metabolic activity inside the body. The CT part gives matching anatomic detail. Doctors use the test to find cancers, stage disease, check spread, plan treatment, and monitor response. It also helps detect some infections, inflammatory conditions, and evaluate certain brain and heart problems.

What symptoms suggest FDG PET/CT may be needed?

A doctor may recommend FDG PET/CT when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Dwarka, Rohini, and other parts of Delhi.

How is FDG PET/CT done?

No needle or sample is involved. At an accredited imaging centre serving Dwarka and Rohini, Delhi, a radiographer performs the scan, which is painless and usually completed within 10 to 15 minutes. A qualified radiologist interprets the images and issues a report you can access on GetVisit. (Home collection does not apply to imaging.)

How accurate is FDG PET/CT?

GetVisit partners only with accredited imaging centres in and around Dwarka, Rohini, and Delhi that use maintained, calibrated equipment and qualified radiographers. Every scan is interpreted by a qualified radiologist, and reports are accepted by hospital networks, specialists, and insurers across India.

Are there any risks to FDG PET/CT?

A standard X-ray uses a very low dose of radiation considered safe for diagnostic use; ultrasound uses sound waves and involves no radiation at all. If you are or might be pregnant, tell the centre in Dwarka or Rohini, Delhi beforehand so the safest approach can be chosen. There is no needle and no recovery time.

Did you know?

FDG (18F‑FDG) is a radiolabeled glucose analogue used in PET‑CT scans.

FDG PET/CT Test Preparation in Delhi

Fasting and dietary instructions:

Most imaging scans need no fasting. Some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours of fasting or a full bladder, so follow the specific instruction shown when you book, or ask the centre.

Medication guidance:

Continue your regular medication unless told otherwise. Tell the centre if you have diabetes, kidney problems, or allergies, especially if a contrast study is planned.

What to bring:

Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.

Timing:

Book a slot that suits you at an accredited GetVisit centre in Punjabi Bagh or Greater Kailash, Delhi. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

Why Take a FDG PET/CT Test in Delhi ?

When does a doctor order FDG PET/CT?

FDG PET/CT is an imaging study commonly used in cancer care and whole-body evaluations. It is ordered when doctors suspect a tumor, see an unclear mass on other scans, or need to stage known cancer.

Who should get FDG PET/CT done in Delhi?

Delhi's 30+ million population, India's most severe urban air pollution, one of the country's highest combined diabetes and cardiovascular disease burdens, extreme seasonal temperature range (from 3°C in January to 48°C in May), and monsoon infection risk across Dwarka, Rohini, Shahdara, and Uttam Nagar make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential part of health management for all city residents. Those who benefit most from FDG PET/CT include patients needing structural assessment that bloodwork cannot provide, and anyone under surveillance for a previously detected abnormality in Delhi.

What can FDG PET/CT help detect?

It also helps check treatment response and find recurrence. High uptake can result from cancer, infection, inflammation, recent surgery, or high blood sugar and some medications. A family history of cancer may prompt its use for precise assessment.

What do FDG PET/CT results mean?

Higher or positive results: A positive PET scan shows areas of increased metabolic activity that may indicate cancer, infection, or inflammation. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.

How often should FDG PET/CT be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends , typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.

What happens after FDG PET/CT results are ready?

Results are delivered to your phone and stored securely on GetVisit. Any value the laboratory flags as critical is escalated for urgent review, and for everything else your doctor or a verified specialist can guide the next step at your convenience.

Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

What is FDG in PET CT scan?plus

FDG (18F‑FDG) is a radiolabeled glucose analogue used in PET‑CT scans. Injected intravenously, cells take it up like glucose and it becomes metabolically trapped after phosphorylation, allowing imaging of tissue metabolic activity. Areas with increased uptake often indicate cancer, inflammation, or infection. Its positron emission enables PET detection; the tracer has a short half‑life, so imaging is done promptly.

What is the cost of a FDG PET CT scan?plus

Cost varies by country and facility. In the US a FDG PET‑CT commonly ranges roughly $2,000–$6,000 (higher in some hospitals). In the UK it’s free on the NHS but privately typically £700–£1,500. In India prices often range about ₹8,000–35,000. Final price depends on tracer dose, imaging protocol, whether it’s a hospital or private diagnostic centre, and insurance.

What is the difference between FDG PET and PET?plus

PET is the imaging technique that uses radioactive tracers to visualize physiological processes. FDG PET is a specific PET scan using 18F‑FDG, a glucose analog, to map tissue glucose metabolism. FDG PET commonly detects cancer, infection, and inflammation. Other PET tracers target different molecules or receptors for particular diseases (e.g. amyloid, PSMA, somatostatin).

Is a FDG PET scan painful?plus

An FDG PET scan is generally not painful. You’ll get an intravenous radiotracer injection that may cause brief stinging or minor bruising. Lying still in the scanner can be uncomfortable or trigger claustrophobia for some, but the imaging itself is painless. Side effects are uncommon, and staff will explain the procedure and help with any discomfort or concerns.

Is FDG PET/CT safe if I am pregnant?plus

Tell the centre before FDG PET/CT if you are or might be pregnant. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; for X-ray or CT the team will decide the safest approach or suggest an alternative.

How should I prepare for FDG PET/CT?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before FDG PET/CT. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.
