Step 1 of 2

The PET scan is an abbreviation for the Positron Emission Tomography, which is a technique that applies the usage of radioactive tracers to obtain the images of physiological processes that are being carried down in the body of an individual. The 3D images which are obtained via this technique adequately depict the proceedings of organs and tissues. On the other hand, the treatment method that applies chemicals and drugs to suppress the growth of cancerous cells and tissues is known as chemotherapy.
