  2. PET-CT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET-CT

    Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed (co-registered) image.

    Complete body PET-CT fusion image Brain PET-MRI fusion image. PET scans are increasingly read alongside CT or MRI scans, with the combination (co-registration) giving both anatomic and metabolic information (i.e., what the structure is, and what it is doing biochemically). Because PET imaging is most useful in combination with anatomical ...

    Brain positron emission tomography is a form of positron emission tomography (PET) that is used to measure brain metabolism and the distribution of exogenous radiolabeled chemical agents throughout the brain. PET measures emissions from radioactively labeled metabolically active chemicals that have been injected into the bloodstream.

    PET-MRI systems don't offer a direct way to obtain attenuation maps, unlike stand-alone PET or PET-CT systems. [32] [33] Stand alone PET systems' attenuation correction (AC) is based on a transmission scan (mu - map) acquired using a 68 Ge (Germanium-68) rotating rod source, which directly measures photon attenuation at 511 keV.

  7. Emission computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_computed_tomography

    Types include positron emission tomography (PET) and Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). SPECT is commonly used to diagnose certain diseases. [ 1 ] SPECT imaging is conducting by injecting a radioactive probe (or tracer) into the person's blood stream. [ 1 ]
