PET Scan Cost Basics

First and foremost, you have a choice so make sure you shop for where you get your PET scan because it might save you a significant amount of money. By doing a little homework and shopping around you can save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. PET scans costs can range between $3,000 - $6,000. Costs are broken down into three areas:

FDG Radiopharmaceutical Fees: this is the cost of the radioactive element that is used to produce the images

Technical Fees: this is the cost of the procedure and where there is a potential to save a considerable amount of money

Professional Fees: this is the fee associated with having the radiologist interpret the test result.
