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.
