 CT AND PET IMAGING CLOSE TO HOME


CT Scan 

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital offers state of the art scanning capabilities on our Aquillon 16 slice CT scanner located at the hospital or the Aquillion 64 slice CT scanner located at the Mears Health Campus in Seaford Delaware. These scanners offer quicker scan times with low radiation dose protocols.

With the 64 slice CT scanner, Nanticoke offers calcium scoring of the heart which is low dose, painless and fast to demonstrate calcium in the coronary arteries. It also offers cardiac angiography (CCTA), which provides even more diagnostic information for heart disease.

Our CT technologists are all very patient-focused and have a combined 70 years of total experience!


PET

PET imaging offers insight of the metabolism of cells using a small radioactive sugar tracer (FDG). This ability to characterize areas, using metabolic activity, narrows the differential diagnosis and improves the accuracy for staging malignancies. PET/CT combines the advantages of molecular imaging with precise anatomic localization enhancing the ability to pinpoint the location of specific lesions.
