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.

3. Positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

   Positron emission tomography (PET) [1] is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.

4. CT scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

   Thus, functional imaging obtained by PET, which depicts the spatial distribution of metabolic or biochemical activity in the body can be more precisely aligned or correlated with anatomic imaging obtained by CT scanning. [24] PET-CT gives both anatomical and functional details of an organ under examination and is helpful in detecting different ...

5. Standardized uptake value - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Uptake_Value

   3-dimensional [18 F]FDG-PET image with 3D ROI generated by a threshold based algorithm.The blue dot in the MIP image bottom right marks the maximum SUV within the ROI.. The standardized uptake value (SUV) is a nuclear medicine term, used in positron emission tomography (PET) as well as in modern calibrated single photon emission tomography (SPECT) imaging for a semiquantitative analysis. [1]

6. Maximum intensity projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_intensity_projection

   MIP Display was invented for use in Nuclear Medicine by Jerold Wallis, MD, in 1988 at Washington University in St. Louis, and subsequently published in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging. [2] In the setting of Nuclear Medicine, it was originally called MAP (Maximum Activity Projection). [3] [4]

7. Brain positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_positron_emission...

   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.

9. PET response criteria in solid tumors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET_response_criteria_in...

   PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST) is a set of rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progress") during treatment, using positron emission tomography (PET). The criteria were published in May 2009 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). [1]
