Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Scans
Asiri AOI is the only facility in the local private sector with the facility to perform PET-CT scans and we offer an uninterrupted service throughout the year.

The PET component detects changes in the cellular function, such as how cells are using glucose. In many cases, a PET-CT scan can distinguish between benign and malignant tumors and provides the information required to make an accurate diagnosis.
