"The best cancer screening in the era of one-stop examination"

PET-CT has been developed on the basis of a principle that malignant tumorous tissues require a larger amount of nutrients than benign tumor and normal tissues. This is a technique to detect various cancers by injecting chemicals and observing abnormal glucose distribution in the body. In addition, it more accurately diagnoses the existence of cancerous cells after a surgery, cancer relapse and metastasis to bones and other organs, and thus ensures proper treatment.

At KNUH, you can receive the fast, safe and efficient PET-CT.
