There were no other manifestations indicative of infection or malignancy. She underwent meticulous evaluation, including a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. The PET scan showed multifocal hot spots in the right temporal lesion as well as in bilateral cervical, supraclavicular, and axillary...
Now, researchers in Poland have created the first-ever positronium image recorded during a PET scan, reporting their results in Science Advances. “Our goal in introducing positronium imaging is to increase the specificity of cancer diagnosis such that one can determine the degree of cancer ...
The highly sensitive PET scan images the biology of disorders at the molecular level, while the CT scan provides a detailed picture of the body’s internal anatomy. The PET/CT scan combines the strengths of these two well-established imaging modalities into a single scan. A CT scan is able...
of CT X-ray photons and thus affect the intensities of the CT image.Therefore,for PET/CT attenuation correction,it is crucial to determine the conversion curve with a given set of CT scan parameters and convert the CT image into a PET linear attenuation coefficient distribution.A generalized ...
patient's planning CT scans.Conclusions: The developed clinical protocols allow a patient's whole-body PET staging scan to be incorporated, manipulated and quantified in the treatment planning process to improve the accuracy of gross tumour volume localisation in 3D conformal radiotherapy for lung ...

For not only cancer staging but also treatment planning, it is common to use a number of imaging modalities including CT, MRI, SPECT, and PET. In several occasions, it is necessary to combine multimodality imaging to delineate the true extent of the tumor. In the context of ART,image regis...
We verified that the average registration error between two imaging modalities is 0.335 mm using an in vivo mouse bone scan. This paper also estimates the impact of image misalignment on PET quantitation using attenuation corrections generated from misregistered images. Our technique is expected to ...
Focused ultrasound (FUS) has recently been investigated as a new mode of non-invasive brain stimulation, which offers exquisite spatial resolution and depth control. We report on the elicitation of explicit somatosensory sensations as well as accompanyin
of a subject's brain. The first two are MRI images, showing structural information, while the last is a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image showing metabolic activity, specifically glucose consumption levels. Visualizing the tissue in multiple modalities provides a richer characterization of the ...
