PET-CT-MR Imaging-Based Cardiovascular Imaging

Molecular Anatomic Imaging: PET/CT, PET/MR and SPECT/CT.

MR/PET Imaging of the Cardiovascular System.

Cardiovascular imaging has largely focused on identifying structural, functional, and metabolic changes in the heart. The ability to reliably assess disease activity would have major potential clinical advantages, including the identification of early disease, differentiating active from stable conditions, and monitoring disease progression or response to therapy. Positron emission tomography (...

Evaluation of gynecologic cancer with MR imaging, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and PET/MR imaging.

MR imaging and (18)F-FDG PET/CT play central and complementary roles in the care of patients with gynecologic cancer. Because treatment often requires combinations of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, imaging is central to triage and to determining prognosis. This article reviews the use of the 2 imaging modalities in the initial evaluation of 3 common cancers: uterine cervical, uterine ...

Hybrid imaging with PET/CT and PET/MR

Hybrid PET/MRI systems have recently become commercially available with potential to change medical imaging by providing combined anatomical-metabolic image information. Especially in cancer patients, this may be of benefit. PET itself is widely used in everyday routine due to its capability of providing molecular information used mainly for the non-invasive characterization of tumors and metas...

application of pet/ct in oncologic imaging

conclusions pet/ct can provide diagnosis and more accurate staging, location of tumor with its capability in providing the anatomical and physiological information synchronizes. therefore pet/ct plays an important role in oncology. objectives in this paper, we evaluate application of pet/ct for improve oncologic imaging. methods the papers were searched in pubmed and scopus databases with the r...
