Positron emission tomography/computed tomography is a hybrid nuclear medicine imaging technique that helps radiologists spot abnormal metabolic activity. PET/CT is commonly used to diagnose cancers, heart diseases and certain brain disorders, among other conditions.
Researchers see potential applications in initial staging, evaluation of suspected recurrence and selection of patients for future targeted radioligand therapy.
Conventional PET/CT scanners image the body in sections, typically requiring five to six position changes to acquire images from the head to the thighs.
