Case Studies
PET/CT combines the technology of two imaging modalities; CT for anatomy and PET for function, into a single imaging device. When imaging with two modalities in a single scan, disease can be identified and localized, potentially resulting in earlier diagnosis and more accurate staging. PET/CT scanners provide anatomical and functional images of patients, allowing functional abnormalities to be localized and distinguished from normal uptake of the PET tracer, which increases physician confidence in arriving at a correct diagnosis.
