PET scans, CAT scans, and dental x-rays serve different purposes and utilize distinct technologies. A PET (positron emission tomography) scan provides metabolic information by detecting radioactive tracers, often used in oncology. A CAT (computed axial tomography) scan offers detailed cross-sectional images of the body using X-ray technology, primarily for structural assessment. In contrast, a dental x-ray focuses specifically on the teeth and surrounding structures, using lower radiation doses and simpler imaging techniques for dental diagnostics.
