1 核医学科SPECT-CT 分子影像 即发射型计算机断层扫描仪,简称“ECT”。ECT成像的基本原理:放射性药物引入人体,经代谢后在脏器内ECT外或病变部位和正常组织之间形成放射性浓度差异,将探测到这些差异,通过计算机处理再成像。ECT成像是一种...
Definition of whole-body computed tomography in trauma The techniques used for WBCT (otherwise known as pan-scan or total-body CT) in trauma vary tremendously, but generally, WBCT is considered to include CT of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis during a single visit to the CT sca...
Although the most literal implication of the term “WB- MRI” is “vertex to heel” imaging, in real-life clinical scenarios, assessment of indication-specific targeted anatomy is often performed instead of a scan of the entire body (Fig. 2), and this makes use of the “WB-MRI” ...
Body Mass Index, Weight Change, and Survival in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients in Connecticut Women Evidence is emerging that obesiy and weight gain may affect the prognosis of several types of cancer. We investigated the impact of body mass index (BMI) a... X Han,J Stevens,PT Bradshaw - ...
(CT), owing to its superior imaging capabilities and rapid scanning speeds, has significantly increased in recent years in the initial assessment of these patients. A protocol which surveys the entire head, thorax and abdomen in a single scan, fittingly named ‘Whole Body CT’ (WBCT), has ...
Objective To compare the whole body 18 F-FDG PET/CT with whole body CT scan for detecting malignant tumor in patients with elevated serum tumor markers. Methods 30 cases undergoing whole-body PET/CT and with elevated serum tumor markers were included. All PET/CT and CT images were scored ac...
There are significant advantages to using whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for detecting bone metastases. Evaluation can be performed with a single scan, which is potentially more cost-effective and time-saving for whole-body evaluations [1,2,3,4,5]. Moreover, it can be used ...
Statistical atlases can provide population-based descriptions of healthy volunteers and/or patients and can be used for region- and voxel-based analysis. This work aims to develop whole-body diffusion atlases of healthy volunteers scanned at 1.5T and 3T.
Even aside from these improvements, total-body PET/CTimaging of bonediseases holds several unique benefits over whole-body PET/CT imaging. First and foremost, whole-body PET/CT scanners remain a slight misnomer in that they typically scan only from the top of the cranium down to the mid-lowe...
