Mercy PET-CT is a new initiative undertaken by Sonic Healthcare and Integrated Hospitals to provide the latest in diagnostic technology for cancer patients in the Auckland region. Our new facility was opened on October 18th by the minister of Health, Hon Tony Ryall.

 Located at the MercyAscot hospital in Mountain Rd, Epsom, Mercy PET-CT has installed a Siemens Biograph mCT scanner which provides PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanning along with 64-slice fully diagnostic CT (Computed Tomography) scanning. These images are fused together to give a comprehensive, accurate assessment of the tissue and structures of the body.

This technology has only been available outside Auckland until now, so the local availability for patients and clinicians will without doubt make the process easier and more accessible. No longer will patients and their families have to be inconvenienced with lengthy trips at a time when they may be unwell and anxious.
