PET/CT scan technique in cancer

Currently, PET/CT technique is increasingly widely applied. PET/CT is a combination of two advanced imaging techniques: PET (Positron Emission Tomography-Positron cutting) and CT (Computed TomoGroPhy This integration helps to bring the ideal image, both reflect the function and metabolism of the organs in the body (via PET), and clearly show their surgery and structure (via CT). PET says the level of cell metabolic activity helps detect abnormalities even when the structure has not changed. CT provides detailed images of anatomy, supporting the exact location of the lesion.
