Conversely, PET scans detect metabolic activity using radioactive sugar injections. Because cancer consumes sugar at a high rate, malignant tumors show up on PET scans as bright areas.<br /> <br /> The PET/CT scanner, a blended imaging system that combines PET and CT technology into a single imaging system, performs both scans together in about 30 to 45 minutes.
