This allows doctors to:

check for cancer
determine if cancer has spread to the brain
diagnose dementias, including Alzheimer’s disease
differentiate between Parkinson’s disease and other conditions
prepare for epilepsy surgery
Your doctor may have you undergo a brain PET scan regularly if you’re undergoing treatment for brain disorders. This can help them monitor the success of your treatment.
