Mohamed said that the monies collected for a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner, a nuclear medicine imaging diagnostic tool to assess the functioning tissues and organs of the body, has far exceeded expectations and that the excess money would be used to buy a much needed CT scanner too.He said that up to last week the donations collected at the Bank of Ceylon Account for the purchase of a PET-scanner had reached Rs.252 million.
