ARC Cancer Hospital provides advanced PET CT scans in Bangalore for cancer staging, therapy monitoring, and recurrence evaluation. Located on Hosur Main Road (Wilson Garden, near NIMHANS), ARC delivers specialized scans including 18F-FDG PET CT, 68Ga-PSMA (Prostate), and 68Ga-DOTATATE (NETs). Unlike standalone diagnostic centers where patients wait in public lobbies, ARC operates an Admitted Day-Care PET-CT Protocol providing private room rest, personalized nursing care, and 100% Multidisciplinary Tumour Board review. Call +91 9900015005 to schedule your appointment with zero delay.
Most imaging centers treat a PET CT as a rapid throughput procedure—you get an injection, sit in a public hallway, get scanned, and leave.
At ARC Cancer Hospital, we recognize that a diagnostic scan is a critical phase of your treatment. We provide Bangalore’s only Hospital-Integrated, Admitted PET-CT Experience:
You are admitted to a dedicated private room with continuous nursing support during the radiopharmaceutical uptake phase—ensuring proper muscle relaxation and zero anxiety for clearer diagnostic results.
Your scan reports are evaluated alongside Surgical, Medical, and Radiation Oncologists to ensure direct alignment with your master treatment plan.
Advanced PET CT systems allow rapid acquisition times (under 20 minutes) while minimizing overall radiation exposure.
Skip long waiting lists. We offer rapid appointment booking and deliver verified reports within 24 hours so your treatment stays on track.
Managed by qualified Nuclear Medicine Specialists under strict Atomic Energy Regulatory Board safety frameworks.

We believe in pricing transparency and total financial guidance:
PET CT scan costs in Bangalore typically range from ₹12,000 to ₹28,000 for standard FDG procedures, while specialized tracers (PSMA or DOTATATE) range from ₹18,000 to ₹35,000. ARC offers competitive hospital rates that cover full day-care admission.
ARC Cancer Hospital is empaneled with major private insurance providers, corporate panels, and health insurance TPAs.
Our dedicated desk manages documentation to streamline claims and maximize your insurance benefit.
Call our Nuclear Medicine helpdesk at +91 9900015005 to verify pricing based on your prescription.
Our team contacts you the day before your appointment. For FDG PET scans, patients fast for 4 to 6 hours. Individualized protocols are arranged for diabetic patients to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.
Upon arrival, you are admitted to a dedicated day-care room. A specialized nurse administers the tracer intravenously, after which you rest comfortably in a quiet setting for 45–60 minutes for tracer biodistribution.
The scan takes 15 to 25 minutes inside our wide-bore scanner, ensuring low radiation exposure and maximum comfort.
Digital DICOM images and verified diagnostic reports are delivered within 24 hours and reviewed directly by our oncology specialists.

Standard standalone diagnostic labs operate as high-volume centers where patients wait in public lobbies without ongoing medical supervision. ARC Cancer Hospital admits every PET-CT patient into a private day-care room with dedicated oncology nursing support. Furthermore, your scan reports are not written in isolation—they are evaluated directly by a Multidisciplinary Tumour Board to integrate with your treatment plan.
PET CT scan costs in Bangalore generally range between ₹12,000 and ₹28,000 for standard whole-body 18F-FDG procedures. Specialized molecular tracers (such as 68Ga-PSMA for prostate cancer or 68Ga-DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumors) range between ₹18,000 and ₹35,000. ARC Cancer Hospital offers competitive, transparent hospital rates that include private day-care admission, dedicated nursing, and Tumour Board consultation. Call +91 9900015005 for an exact quote based on your doctor's prescription.
Yes. ARC Cancer Hospital is empaneled with leading private insurance providers, corporate TPAs, and government health panels. Because PET CT scans at ARC are conducted under an Admitted Day-Care Protocol, insurance pre-authorization and cashless claim processing are significantly more straightforward. Our dedicated billing desk handles all documentation for maximum insurance reimbursement.
We guarantee a 24-hour report turnaround. Your digital DICOM scan images and verified diagnostic reports from our Nuclear Medicine Specialists are processed within 1 day and directly uploaded to your ARC medical file to prevent any delay in your cancer treatment.
18F-FDG is a glucose-based radiopharmaceutical tracer. Fasting for 4 to 6 hours before your scan lowers baseline blood sugar and insulin levels. This forces cancer cells—which consume high amounts of sugar to rapidly absorb the tracer, creating high-contrast, crystal-clear imaging of metabolic tumors.
Diabetic patients require controlled blood sugar levels before an FDG PET CT scan so elevated glucose does not interfere with tracer uptake. Our nuclear medicine team contacts you prior to your scan to provide customized fasting, insulin, and oral medication schedules tailored to your appointment time.
Yes, PET CT scans are safe and approved under strict AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board) guidelines. The radiotracer uses a low, safe dose of radiation that decays naturally. The CT scan component uses ultra-low-dose technology. Drinking plenty of water after your procedure accelerates the natural flushing of the tracer through your urine.
Yes. Under Indian Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) radiopharmaceutical safety norms, a valid referral prescription from a registered medical practitioner (Oncologist, Physician, or Specialist Surgeon) is mandatory before administering any PET tracer.
A standard CT scan produces detailed 3D anatomical cross-sections of organs, bones, and tissues. A PET scan measures cellular metabolic activity (function). A PET CT scan combines both technologies in a single machine session, allowing oncologists to pinpoint metabolic abnormalities directly onto precise anatomical structures.
A 68Ga-PSMA PET CT scan is a targeted imaging technique designed specifically for Prostate Cancer. It targets Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen proteins on cancer cells, detecting micro-metastases and recurrence even at extremely low serum PSA levels that standard MRI or bone scans miss.
Yes. While oncology is our primary specialty, ARC provides PET CT imaging for: - Neurology: Evaluating brain glucose metabolism for localized refractory epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and early-stage dementia. - Cardiology: Assessing myocardial viability (hibernating heart muscle tissue) post-heart attack before bypass or angioplasty. - Infectious Diseases: Locating fever of unknown origin (FUO) and chronic bone/graft infections.
Plan for 2 to 3 hours total at our facility: - Day-Care Registration & Prep: 20–30 minutes. - Tracer Resting/Uptake Phase: 45–60 minutes in your private day-care room. - Actual Machine Scan: 15–25 minutes.

Yes. You may have an accompanying family member stay with you in your day-care preparation room prior to the injection. However, pregnant women and small children should not accompany patients to the nuclear medicine department as a standard radiation precaution.
