Signs You May Need PET Scan
Patients are typically referred for a PET scan when they have a confirmed or suspected tumor requiring staging, unexplained lumps or lymph node swelling, cancer that has responded ambiguously to treatment on other scans, or neurological symptoms like memory loss or seizures needing functional brain evaluation. It is usually ordered by an oncologist or neurologist rather than driven by a single standalone symptom.
