What is PET/CT?
PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography) is one of the leading methods of visual diagnosis, particularly significant for cancer diagnosis.
During a PET/CT scan, a pharmaceutical preparation containing a radioactive substance, known as a radiopharmaceutical (RFP), is used to obtain accurate diagnostic images. 

Positron emission tomography (PET) is one of the most important modern diagnostic methods in the field of oncology. It is performed using radioisotopes, which require special facilities and stringent safety measures. At the “Erebuni” Radiotherapy Center, where this advanced diagnostic method has recently been implemented, all conditions have been created for conducting examinations safely and effectively.

Sergey Golub, head of the radiotherapy service at the "Erebuni" Radiotherapy Center, participated in the annual international oncology conference organized by the "Erebuni" Medical Center in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia, Davidiants Laboratory, and the "Friends' House" organization. The conference focused on the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

“Erebuni” Medical Center in cooperation with the leading American company Varian has built a one-of-a-kind radiotherapy center equipped with state-of-the-art radiation therapy, radiosurgery and radioisotope equipment of the latest generation.
