    Many diseases in our body (such as tumors, Alzheimer's disease, etc.) until the clinician can clearly diagnose these diseases may have developed into the middle and late stages, thus losing the opportunity for early cure. As a sensitive and accurate metabolic imaging method, PET/CT examination can be used for early diagnosis of these diseases. PET/CT examination can quantify the metabolic changes of certain tissues or lesions through complex computer technology.
