Imaging Tests used in diagnosing cancer include a Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan, Bone Scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan, Ultrasound and X-ray, among others.

    A PET/CT scan is most commonly used for determining the extent of disease (staging), assessing response to therapy, and detecting recurrence of disease post treatment. (restaging), and identifying likely sites of primary malignancy, guiding the site of biopsy and in radiotherapy planning.

    Biopsy

    During a biopsy, a sample of cells is collected for testing in the laboratory. In most cases, a biopsy is the only way to definitively diagnose cancer. Biopsies are usually performed to determine whether a tumor is malignant (cancerous) or to determine the cause of an infection.
