Below are represented the centers where a PET-CT scan is available. PET-CT is an accurate test to detect malignant tumors, the tiniest metastasis, pathologies caused by cardiac or neurological disorders.

How to undergo a procedure and what is a PET-CT scan cost?

  • Choose the most suitable country for you. While searching for a PET-CT center, pay attention to its location. In some cases, it is better to choose the nearest country to your own one to shorten a trip period and save money for the tickets.
  • Identify a specialized hospital. If a PET-CT is prescribed to detect cancer or metastases choose a hospital with own cancer department or center. In such a way, you can be sure that your results will be considered by an experienced specialist and, if necessary, start a treatment right in the hospital immediately. In case of neurological or cardiac pathologies, search a center with a specialized neurology or cardiology department.
  • PET-CT scan price. The cost of private PET-CT scan varies from country to country. For instance, the PET-CT price in Indian hospitals is one of the lowest — 20% cheaper than in Turkey, and 30-70% than in Europe, Korea, Israel or Thailand. The highest average cost of PET scan is in America.

Still, the quality of PET-CT devices is about at the same level. The different price policy is explained by the income of local citizens and the general economic level in a particular country.

Submit a request on Bookimed. After a request, our coordinator will contact you to answer all questions and schedule a time for a PET-CT scan in the chosen hospital. With Bookimed, you undergo a PET-CT scan in the shortest term — within 3-5 days.

Bookimed is an independent platform to search for the best treatment and diagnostics in the world’s top centers. We have already helped over 110,000 patients.

Bookimed services are free for a patient. You pay the PET-CT cost right in the hospital! Learn more about Bookimed here.

Lola Saydakhmedova • Jun 5, 2019
I was in Severance on May 27, 2019 at a reception by the oncologist's homolog, and on the same day mammography and ultrasound of the mammary glands were done. For the conclusion they said to come on June 5th. I want to say a big thank you to my coordinator Lydia, I went everywhere, translated, sat and waited in queues with me. Service at the highest level! Today, on June 5, I came back to the homologue and she looked at the pictures and said that all is not well worry. And in Russia, they saw a tumor from somewhere. I was also given a disc with ultrasound and momography and a conclusion in paper in English. Thank you all and thanks to bookimed.com! This is not a hoax, really help people. I wanted to share a photo of the clinic and the coordinator, but something is impossible to expose them.

Korea University Anam Hospital has world-class robotic surgery skills, especially in cancer surgery. It has developed the world's first robotic oral thyroid cancer surgery method that removes tumor without visible scars by inserting a surgical robot arm into the patient's mouth.

In addition, not only the bladder cancer pre-stage robotic surgery was the first and most successful in Asia, but also the first robotic breast reconstruction surgery in Korea reduces the size of the scar by one-tenth. On top of that, bloodless or minimal blood transfusions are applied to reduce the risk of infection and speed up postoperative recovery. Patients from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia go here for treatment.

Mom could not make an accurate diagnosis, and we decided to be examined in Korea. I left a request in bookimed. And what surprised immediately rang. I told you how, all the tests that were done, and I was advised by the Ehwa clinic. We immediately agreed and signed up with a mammologist. Everything is clean in the clinic, all doctors, all medical staff are qualified, and very friendly. The translator was with my mother all the time, and he explained everything very clearly. They quickly took the tests, and immediately established a diagnosis, they said it was necessary to do the operation. The operation lasted 5 hours (general preparation, etc.) after the operations in the clinic 10 days. They did everything neatly, everything had almost healed. I am satisfied with the clinic and the medical coordinators of Bookimed. Thank you all very much!
