My grandfather is not very well after he is old. I am still afraid that he has a tumor. I am going to take him for a PET examination. Can PET detect a tumor?

    PET/CT can detect tumors. PET/CT can not only find the primary tumor focus, but also find early metastases. This is very important for the treatment of tumors, because different tumor stages have different treatment plans for tumors.
