    Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear answers to help you understand the PET CT Second Opinion process.

    Who will read my PET CT scan?
    Your PET CT scan is reviewed by Dr. Ishita B. Sen and Dr. Dharmender Malik, nuclear medicine physicians Dr. Sen (Senior Director and Head) and Dr. Malik (Senior Consultant) at our centre. They consult at our centre in Gurugram, and provide PET CT second-read interpretations through TPPL. Both have extensive experience in PET CT interpretation, PSMA and DOTATATE imaging, and theranostics.
    What makes TPPL's second-read service different from a hospital second opinion?
    The report is a diagnostic interpretation of the imaging. It does not recommend a therapy. It is delivered as a written report to you and your treating team, who decide what happens next with you. The fee is fixed and published before the review begins and does not change with what the report concludes. There is no obligation to be treated here or anywhere else.
    How long does a second read take?
    TPPL delivers a comprehensive, digitally signed second-read report within 72 hours of receiving the complete scan and clinical information.
    What do I need to submit my PET CT scan?
    You need a DICOM link for your PET CT study (most imaging centres issue one on request), the original imaging report, any relevant prior scans, a histopathology report if available, and a brief clinical summary. Submission is through our secure online form.
    Can TPPL review a scan for a patient living outside India?
    Yes. The scan does not travel and neither does the patient — only the imaging data does. Send the DICOM images, the original report and a short clinical summary, and the review is the same wherever the scan was performed. The fee for patients living outside India is USD 100.
    Is the second-read report usable by my treating oncologist?
    Yes. The report is a formal structured interpretation, digitally signed, in the same format used by major oncology centres. It is designed to be shared with the patient's treating oncologist, surgeon, or referring physician.
    What does the second read cost?
    The Second Read fee is ₹2,500 for patients living in India and USD 100 for patients living outside India. The fee is based on where you live, not on your nationality. Indian citizens living abroad pay USD 100. The applicable fee is confirmed in writing before any scan is reviewed.
    Is my scan and clinical data kept confidential?
    Yes. All patient data is handled in accordance with medical confidentiality standards. Scans are reviewed only by the TPPL clinical team. Patient identifiers are not shared externally, and the second-read report is released only to the patient or to a physician explicitly authorised by the patient.
    When is a second read not needed?
    When the imaging is unambiguous and agrees with the pathology and the clinical picture, a second read will usually confirm the first report without changing anything. If your case looks like that, ask us before you send it and we will tell you so, so that you can decide whether it is worth doing at all.
