In this article, we look at the cost of PET scan in Singapore.
A PET scan or positron emission tomography scan is a medical imaging test that is used to detect the metabolic activity of tissues and organs in the body. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing certain diseases such as cancers, brain disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease), and heart problems.
During a PET scan, a small amount of radioactive material, known as a radiotracer, is injected into the patient’s body. It is usually in a form of glucose that contains a small amount of a radioactive substance. Once inside the body, the radiotracer is taken up by cells and accumulates in areas with high metabolic activity.
Tests That May Be Combined With PET Scan
Other imaging tests such as CT (Computed Tomography) scans and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans are often combined with PET scans to provide more clarity and accurate diagnoses.
PET Scan Cost In Singapore
A PET scan cost in Singapore will vary according to the nature of the PET scan required, and will also vary depending on the choice of healthcare provider. Private healthcare providers may charge S$2,000 or above for a PET scan (full body). PET scans that require special or more expensive radiotracers (e.g. certain specialised PET scans for Alzheimer’s Disease) may cost over S$9,000.
