A lot of PET scanners are used in combination with CT scanners in a PET-CT machine to provide hybrid imaging that utilizes the benefits of both techniques. Positron emission tomography is used to visualize the body structure and cell activity within the body. PET scanning is a fast, sensitive, non-invasive, and comprehensive way to assess

A positive Amyloid PET scan can be used to identify subtle cognitive problems in adults asymptomatic for Alzheimer’s disease.  In a large, complex study, the scan showed an increased amyloid burden in the patients. Scientists were contemplating whether they can use PET to detect any abnormality in the levels of amyloid-beta protein in the brains

PET scans are frequently used in the medical community and oncology. Today PET imaging is used in combination with computerized axial tomography for more accurate results. PET has been adopted in the treatment of lymphomas, where it’s often incorporated in treatment for Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. PET scans are used in staging and treating lymphomas

COVID-19 is often diagnosed through RT-PCR testing. Now some experts are arguing that CT scans can help to diagnose Covid-19. But others disagree with them. The covid-19 epidemic continues to spread all over the world, killing many people as nations strive to find cure or vaccination. Diagnosing people with SARS-CoV-2 early is key to combating

A combination of imaging technology and a new drug can help light up lung cancer cells in the body to find hidden stray lung cancer cells. A preliminary study discovered that the new combination, known as intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI), helped surgeons to improve patient outcomes. The drug used in IMI is known as OTL38

PSMA positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PSMAPET-CT) was found to be 27% more accurate compared to conventional CT and bone scans. This was discovered in a phase 3 study conducted to detect distant metastases in high-risk prostate cancer patients. According to research, PSMA PET-CT can help stage men with high risk localized prostate cancer more accurately

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans help to detect cancer sites by obtaining images of cell activity in the body. During the procedure, the patient is intravenously injected with a tracer containing sugar and radioactive material in small amounts. As cancer cells absorb more radioactive sugar, the tracer will light up. A special camera will scan

Investigators are seeking to define the correlation between lung cancer screening methods and mortality rates. Lung cancer is prevalent in the world, causing major concerns in the economy and public health in many regions. The disease is often diagnosed late when it has already metastasized. Lung cancer is attributed to cigarette smoking, although other factors

PET (positron emission tomography) scans help to deliver clear images of the biological functions of the body. They help to detect disease quicker compared to other imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. A PET scan is a highly technological nuclear procedure that is very safe with no known potential

Netspot® is a new imaging technology that helps to accurately diagnose neuroendocrine tumors early. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) come from hormone-producing cells in various organs in the body. Some are slow-growing and can be cured. But others will enlarge and metastasize without causing any symptoms. Early diagnosis is the only way to get them treated. A
