Combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT)
Record ID 32005000021
English
Authors' objectives:
Combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is an imaging technique that allows acquisition of physiologic data from PET and morphologic data from CT in a single scanning session using the same scanning device without moving the patient between examinations. The goal of PET-CT is to provide optimal diagnostic capability by combining complementary physiologic and morphologic data and by minimizing misalignment between PET and CT images. PET-CT has been proposed as a method for diagnosing, staging, and restaging cancer and for treatment monitoring and radiotherapy planning in cancer patients.
