The image produced by this type of medical imaging, called a cholescintigram, is also known by other names depending on which radiotracer is used, such as HIDA scan, PIPIDA scan, DISIDA scan, or BrIDA scan. [1] [2] Cholescintigraphic scanning is a nuclear medicine procedure to evaluate the health and function of the gallbladder and biliary system.
A fully automated radiosynthesis interface of PET-radiotracers. PET is a functional imaging technique that produces a three-dimensional image of functional processes in the body.
A radioactive tracer, radiotracer, or radioactive label is a synthetic derivative of a natural compound in which one or more atoms have been replaced by a radionuclide (a radioactive atom). By virtue of its radioactive decay , it can be used to explore the mechanism of chemical reactions by tracing the path that the radioisotope follows from ...
In the United States, a PET scan is estimated to be US$1500-$5000. In England, the National Health Service reference cost (2015–2016) for an adult outpatient PET scan is £798. [93] In Australia, as of July 2018, the Medicare Benefits Schedule Fee for whole body FDG PET ranges from A$953 to A$999, depending on the indication for the scan. [94]
X-ray image of a microchip implant in a cat. A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of an animal. The chip, about the size of a large grain of rice, uses passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, and is also known as a PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag.
where, within the tissue region-of-interest from the PET image, C bone (T) is the bone tissue activity concentration of tracer (in units: MBq/ml) at any time T, C plasma (T) is the plasma concentration of tracer (in units: MBq/ml) at time T, V o is the fraction of the ROI occupied by the ECF compartment, and () is the area under the plasma ...
