What diseases can be screened by PET/CT?

Female  29 years old 2018-06-03
I have been coughing for many days, it has been bad, and I still cough up blood. The doctor advised me to do PET/CT as soon as I heard it. What diseases can be screened by this method?

    If a problem is found, PET/CT can be diagnosed early. PET/CT is a high-sensitivity and good-accuracy test. It has early detection and early diagnosis of many diseases (especially the most common heart and brain diseases and tumors). The value of PET/CT examination can be a whole body imaging, which is convenient to find whether there are dangerous small lesions in the body (especially the presence of malignant lesions). Early diagnosis can enable the subject to get early treatment and cure. PET/CT can not only find the primary tumor focus, but also find early metastases.
