PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography)

This scan lets doctors see inside your body. A PET scan is different from an MRI or a CT scan, because it shows how your organs and systems are working. It can give doctors a clear view of some types of cancer cells, which show up brightly on a PET scan. It can also help doctors diagnose other disorders throughout your body.

Angela G. Gauthier, P.A.-C.

Angela has been taking excellent care of me. I, unfortunately, fractured my elbow and wrist. She’s caring, compassionate, and explained what the plan was. She always has a smile when I see her. She’s the best. Her assistant, Beth, explained everything when putting my cast on.

Bethanie A. Dinan, P.A.-C., M.C.M.S.

This is my third hip shot, and I've been treated professionally each time. The x-ray technician, Bethanie, and Dr. Mitchell were very pleasant. I also have other injections by Bethanie and never hesitate to come to her again. I'm happy with Orthopedic Associates.
