WOODBRIDGE -- The Virginia Department of Health will hold an informal fact-finding session after a petition to add a mobile PET/CT scanner was filed by Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.
A PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) scanner is used to detect the early onset of cancer. A radioactive isotope, called a tracer, is injected into the body, and sugar inside the injection is absorbed by cancer cells, allowing the scanner to identify them.
The hospital is petitioning the state health department through the certificate of public need (COPN) process for permission to offer the service in at the Century Building, on the hospital campus on Opitz Boulevard in Woodbridge.
