Unlike general radiology reports, a PET-CT report interpreted by a dedicated nuclear medicine specialist captures metabolic detail that directly shapes cancer treatment decisions.
She reports PET-CT scans for all cancer types including lymphoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and thyroid cancer. If you need a second opinion on an existing PET-CT report — from Delhi or anywhere else in India — Dr. Jaspriya accepts direct enquiries.
