Understanding Cancer Scans - From Leaders in Oncology Care - LOC

Ultrasound scans, CT Scans (CAT Scans Computerised Axial Tomography), MRI Scans (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) PET Scans (Positron Emission tomography) and PET/CT scans are frequently used to diagnose and monitor the treatment of cancer. Many of our patients at the London Oncology Clinic (www.londononcology.com) tell us they are confused about what the scans involve and why they are used. This video, made in the virtual world Second Life, is designed to explain the difference between the scanners, why they are used and what happens. After viewing this video you can go to Second Life, where you can walk around the scanners at your leisure and see them used. The concept and script were produced by Maurice Slevin, Video production by Ted Mikulski and creation of scanners by Brenda Holder.
