Understanding Your Question About Uploading PET Scan Results
I understand you're asking whether you can upload your PET scan results to this platform or to your healthcare provider's system. This is a technical/administrative question about file sharing or data transfer, not a clinical medical question that requires evidence-based recommendations about diagnosis or treatment.
What This Question Involves
Your question appears to be about:
- Technical capability: Whether a specific platform, portal, or system accepts PET scan image uploads
- Administrative process: How to share your imaging results with healthcare providers
- Data format: Whether your scan files are in a compatible format
What PET Scan Reports Should Contain
If you're trying to share your PET scan results with a healthcare provider, the report should include specific standardized information 1:
- Patient identification: Name, medical record number, date of birth 1
- Clinical information: Age, gender, weight, height, reason for referral, and the specific clinical question 1
- Procedure details: Blood glucose level before FDG administration, radiopharmaceutical used, amount of injected activity, date and time of administration 1
- Technical parameters: Type of PET/CT system, time interval between FDG administration and imaging, body parts covered 1
- Findings: Location, extent, and intensity (SUV values) of pathological FDG accumulation, quality issues, and relevant CT findings 1
Practical Guidance for Sharing Your Results
Contact the specific recipient directly (your doctor's office, the platform administrator, or healthcare system) to ask about their file upload capabilities and requirements, as this varies by institution and system.
Most healthcare systems have:
- Patient portals where imaging reports can be viewed but may not accept direct uploads 1
- Secure messaging systems for communicating with providers
- Medical records departments that can facilitate transfer of imaging studies between facilities
PET scans are generally safe imaging procedures that use radioactive tracers and do not pose risks to patients with pacemakers (unlike MRI) 2, and the total effective radiation dose is approximately 10 mSv per procedure 3.
