A PET-CT check is an atomic medication method that joins a positron discharge tomography (PET) scanner and a x-beam figured tomography (CT) scanner

Nuclear medicine expert, Dr. Arif Sheikh, discusses the advantages of an FDG PET scan and how a second opinion can help ensure an accurate diagnosis.

A novel class of radiopharmaceuticals has proven effective in non-invasively identifying nearly 30 types of malignant tumors, according to research published in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Using 68Ga-FAPI positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), researchers were able to image a wide variety of tumors with very high uptake and image contrast, paving the way for new applications in tumor characterization, staging and therapy.

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging scans use a radioactive tracer to check for signs of cancer, heart disease and brain disorders.

Using brain scans that can detect hallmarks of Alzheimer's could improve diagnosis and clinical care of people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment.

This PET/CT suite was developed to create a calming environment for patients undergoing PET/CT scans. It combines audio and video content with LED lighting. Patients can choose between various “experience themes”. The preparation and the treatment space...

Siemens is improving PET/CT imaging and data quality while reducing radiation exposure. The Biograph mCT Flow PET/CT scanner is a new positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system that, for the first time ever, overcomes the limitations of conventional bed-based PET/CT with FlowMotion, a revolutionary technology that moves the patient smoothly through the system's gantry, while continuously acquiring PET data.
