2. PET-CT - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET-CT

   Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed (co-registered) image.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

   PET scanners can incorporate a computed tomography scanner (CT) and are known as PET-CT scanners. PET scan images can be reconstructed using a CT scan performed using one scanner during the same session. One of the disadvantages of a PET scanner is its high initial cost and ongoing operating costs. [3]

5. Brain positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_positron_emission...

   Brain positron emission tomography is a form of positron emission tomography (PET) that is used to measure brain metabolism and the distribution of exogenous radiolabeled chemical agents throughout the brain. PET measures emissions from radioactively labeled metabolically active chemicals that have been injected into the bloodstream.

6. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

   PET images can be viewed in comparison to computed tomography scans to determine an anatomic correlate. Modern scanners may integrate PET, allowing PET-CT, or PET-MRI to optimize the image reconstruction involved with positron imaging. This is performed on the same equipment without physically moving the patient off of the gantry.

7. Standardized uptake value - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Uptake_Value

   3-dimensional [18 F]FDG-PET image with 3D ROI generated by a threshold based algorithm.The blue dot in the MIP image bottom right marks the maximum SUV within the ROI.. The standardized uptake value (SUV) is a nuclear medicine term, used in positron emission tomography (PET) as well as in modern calibrated single photon emission tomography (SPECT) imaging for a semiquantitative analysis.
