P-E-T Scans now Pubicly Insured

Ontario will make positron emission tomography, or P-E-T, scans a publicly insured health service for some cancer and cardiac patients.

P-E-T scanning can provide information about abnormal tissues such as cancer that is not always found with M-R-I or C-T scans.

By October, insured P-E-T scans will be performed in Ottawa, London, Toronto, Hamilton and Thunder Bay.
