How much does a PET CT scan cost in India for international patients?

From around ₹13,999 (about $200) for whole-body FDG at AERB-licensed centres in Delhi NCR through EVE Healthcare, report included. That is 60 to 85 percent below US, UK or Gulf prices, and below large Indian hospitals' starting rates. Specialised tracers cost more.

Typically 60 to 85 percent versus the West and Gulf. A scan costing $1,000 to $2,500 in the West starts from about $200 here. Even with flights and hotel, the all-inclusive total is often less than the scan alone at home.

Is the scanner quality the same as in the West?

Yes, the same FDA and CE-approved scanners and protocols, AERB-licensed centres, reports by qualified nuclear medicine physicians. The lower price is lower operating cost, not lower quality.

Do you offer an all-inclusive package?

Yes, covering the scan, hotel, transfers, local travel, food and an attendant, with medical visa help. Arabic support and halal food for Gulf patients. One quote, no hidden costs.

Can my report be reviewed before I travel?

Yes. Share your reports on WhatsApp beforehand; we confirm the scan and tracer and quote in advance. After the scan, the 24-hour report can be sent to your doctor at home.

Which countries do patients come from?

The Gulf (Oman, UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar), Africa (Nigeria, Kenya) and Europe (UK), for low cost, no waiting and international-standard imaging.

Do you help with the medical visa?

Yes, invitation letter and guidance provided. A passport valid six months, a supporting letter and reports are generally needed. Family can accompany you on an attendant visa.

How quickly can the scan be done after arrival?

Usually within a day for FDG, report in 24 hours. Specialised tracers are scheduled in advance, so book before travelling. No long waiting lists.

Why Patients Fly to Delhi NCR for a PET CT

The reason is simple arithmetic, backed by genuine quality. A PET CT scan costs $1,000 to $2,500 in the US and UK, and several times the Indian price across much of the Gulf. In Delhi NCR the same scan starts from about $200. Patients routinely save 60 to 85 percent, and when multiple scans are needed through cancer treatment, that difference is life-changing rather than merely convenient.

Crucially, the saving does not come from lesser equipment. Delhi NCR centres use the same FDA and CE-approved scanners and the same international protocols as Western hospitals. The lower price reflects India's lower operating costs, not a lower standard. And unlike home countries where a scan can mean weeks on a waiting list, here it is usually done within a day of arrival.

How EVE Compares to the Large Hospitals

India's big corporate hospitals, Max, Fortis, Medanta, Apollo, market to international patients through dedicated desks, and they do excellent clinical work. But their PET CT pricing starts around $500 and climbs, because you are also paying for the hospital's scale and amenities.

EVE Healthcare takes a different route. We connect you to AERB-licensed diagnostic centres running the same class of scanner, at standalone-centre prices from $200, and we wrap the travel, stay and logistics around it. You get the same scan and specialist reporting, without the corporate-hospital overhead, and a real person on WhatsApp instead of a ticketed enquiry queue.

What the Scan Costs, and What Changes the Price

Scan	EVE Healthcare (Delhi NCR)	Large India hospitals	US / UK
Whole-body FDG PET CT	from ₹13,999 (~$200)	from ~$500	$1,000 – $2,500
PSMA PET CT (prostate)	on request	higher	$2,000+
DOTANOC / DOTATATE (NET)	on request	higher	$2,000+
Cardiac PET CT	on request	higher	high

FDG covers most cancers. Specialised tracers, PSMA for prostate cancer, DOTANOC and DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumours, cost more everywhere because they are complex to produce and made to order. Your prescription decides the tracer, and we confirm it and its price when you share your reports.

Your All-Inclusive Package

For international patients, the scan is the easy part. The logistics are what cause anxiety, so we handle them.

A package can include the PET CT scan at an AERB-licensed centre, hotel accommodation, airport pickup and drop, all local travel, food, a local SIM card, and a dedicated attendant with you throughout. We also provide medical visa assistance and the invitation letter. For patients from Oman and the wider Gulf, we arrange Arabic-speaking support and halal food, and a family member can travel with you on a medical attendant visa.

One quote covers everything, with no surprises on arrival. Patients from Oman can see the dedicated package here: PET CT scan in India for patients from Oman.

Review Your Case Before You Travel

You should never board a flight uncertain. Share your prescription and prior reports with us on WhatsApp before travelling, and we confirm exactly which PET CT scan and tracer your doctor needs, arrange the tracer for your dates, and send you a clear quote. After the scan, your report is ready in 24 hours and can be sent straight to your treating doctor back home, so your care continues without a gap.

Who Travels to India for a PET CT

Patients come to Delhi NCR from across the Gulf, Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, from Africa, including Nigeria and Kenya, and from Europe, including the UK. They come for the same three reasons every time: the cost is a fraction of home, there is no waiting list, and the imaging meets the international standard they expect.

We Help With Your Medical Visa

Travelling for treatment should not mean fighting paperwork. We provide the invitation letter and guide you through the Indian medical visa, which generally needs a passport valid at least six months, a supporting referral letter, and your medical reports. One or two family members can usually accompany you on a medical attendant visa, and we help arrange their travel and stay too.
