PET uses a radioactive isotope in the bloodstream to detect areas of uptake. The areas that show uptake are the areas that show rapid cell division which is usually cancer. However, if the tumour or cancer is in a dormant phase, where it is not growing at that time, it will not show up on a PET scan. Thanks to some Pharmaceutical company like "PetLife Pharmaceuticals" pet's cancer could be treatable using their medicines.
