Information recorded Aug 15, 2026 · Planning information, not medical advice
Short answer
Authoritative 2025 Shanghai coverage reported public PET-CT price ceilings of CNY 2,500 for local PET-CT, CNY 4,000 for torso PET-CT, and up to CNY 6,500 for whole-body PET-CT including isotope drug cost. Hospital-specific access, English reporting, and whether an international department changes the total price still need direct confirmation.

Questions to confirm before booking
- 1
Does this hospital require a doctor order before PET-CT, or can international patients book through an international department?
PET-CT is usually tied to a clinical indication and may not be a walk-in test.
- 2
Is the quoted total for local, torso, or whole-body PET-CT, and does it include isotope drug cost?
The Shanghai price references differ by scan scope and isotope handling.
- 3
Will using an international department or special clinic change the PET-CT total price?
Public price ceilings may not be the total paid through every access route.
- 4
Can the hospital provide an English report and complete image files for an overseas oncologist?
Second opinions often require both the narrative report and the image data.
- 5
How many days are needed from consultation to scan and from scan to report?
Travel planning depends on both scan availability and report timing.
