PET Scan Brain is part of neuroimaging evaluations used when symptoms like unexplained memory loss, seizures, persistent headaches, or suspected tumor appear. It helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, epilepsy, stroke-related damage, and brain tumors.

Residents of Ambawadi, Paldi, and across the city with chronic conditions, those on long-term medication, and individuals with a relevant family history should test at the frequency their specialist recommends.
