New Brunswick - Patients, doctors praise PET scanner

“New Brunswick is about to become the first province in Atlantic Canada to use a PET CT scanner for detecting different forms of cancer.

PET, which stands for Positron Emission Tomography, is considered one of the best technologies for finding small tumours.

It allows a physician to examine cells in the entire body, making it easier to pinpoint the source of the cancer and to track treatment.

There are only 13 PET CT scanners currently in use across the country.”
