A Comparative Study of the Construction of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Facilities in Three South African Hospitals
Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
متن کاملNegative gallium-67 citrate and positive positron emission tomography/computed tomography spleen scans, in Hodgkin's stage IV lymphoma.
An 18-year-old male patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma stage IVB (HL-IVB), is presented. On a follow-up examination a splenic ultrasound scan showed the presence of multiple intense nodules. The gallium-67 citrate, single photon emission tomography scan was negative, while positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) scan with fluoro-18-fluordeoxyglucose was strongly positive. Mas...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography.
Neuroimaging techniques have had a dramatic impact on the evaluation and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In order to take full advantage of their potential, it is important to place them in clinical and electrophysiological context and to understand their technical limitations. Positron emission tomography with 18F-2-deoxyglucose and single photon emission computed tomography can provide v...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction Strategies for Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography and 4-Dimensional Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.
This article discusses attenuation correction strategies in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and 4-dimensional PET/CT imaging. Average CT scan derived from averaging the high temporal resolution CT images is effective in improving the registration of the CT and the PET images and quantification of the PET data. It underscores list-mode data acquisition in 4-dimensional ...
متن کاملComputed tomography, magnetic resonance and gallium 67 scintigraphy for the imaging of residual lymphoma.
he introduction of computed tomography (CT) has greatly improved lymphoma staging procedures and is presently the most common and most important radiologic technique employed for this purpose and for evaluating the response to treatment. However, since CT only gives an anatomic measure of the tumor, in some cases (particularly those with bulky mediastinal involvement), it is not useful in disti...
