Advanced CT Techniques for Decreasing Radiation Dose
Computed tomography (CT) is a commonly used diagnostic imaging technique that provides detailed images of the body. However, CT scans use ionizing radiation which can potentially increase a patient’s lifetime risk of developing cancer. There has been growing concern over radiation exposure from medical imaging, and ways to decrease dose while maintaining image quality is […]
How Body Scans Help in Early Detection of Health Issues
Body scans are non-invasive imaging tests that can help detect health issues early. Getting scanned regularly provides doctors with a baseline to compare changes over time. This allows them to identify concerning abnormalities at their earliest stages. What Are Body Scans? There are different types of body scans using various imaging technologies: Computed tomography (CT) […]
FAPI PET-CT Scans: Unveiling Cancer Imaging’s Future
Introduction Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a protein that is overexpressed in the tumour microenvironment of various types of cancers, including breast, lung, pancreatic, colorectal, and more. What does a FAPI PET/CT scan do? PET/CT technology combines the functional information from positron emission tomography (PET), which detects the distribution of the radioactive tracer, with the […]
Exploring Radionuclide Scans: A Comprehensive Guide
Radionuclide scans give doctors a glimpse inside the body using a tiny bit of radioactive material. This material allows special cameras to take detailed pictures of organs and tissues. Doctors can then see how well these organs work and whether disease is present. They do help find issues early and get the right treatment started […]
A Closer Look: CT Scan in Stroke Detection
An important test for assessing a stroke is a CT scan, sometimes referred to as a CT or CAT scan, which can detect anomalies in the brain brought on by conditions including inadequate blood flow (ischemic stroke), broken blood vessels (hemorrhage), or other problems. Such cerebral CT scan, which is frequently done right away after […]
SPECT CT Scan: A Detailed Diagnostic Guide
SPECT stands for single-photon emission computed tomography is a nuclear imaging test that produces 3D images of the body and reveals organ function by using a radioactive material and a camera. A SPECT-CT scan is a sort of nuclear medicine scan that combines pictures from two separate scans to provide precise data on body functioning […]
The Future of Imaging: CT Technology
The ever-evolving CT technology known as “computed tomography” falls under the medical imaging category introduced way back in the 1970s and plays an important role in diagnosing as well as determining many different diseases and illnesses. Also known as CAT scanning (computed axial tomography), CT provides detailed cross-sectional images of the body. By setting up […]
What makes PET/CT so effective?
Introduction Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography, or PET/CT, is a cutting-edge medical diagnostic tool that stands out. PET/CT has changed how cancer is managed because of its exceptional capacity to provide metabolic and anatomical data. This blog explores the many advantages of PET/CT imaging, including how it affects cost-effectiveness, diagnosis, staging, therapy monitoring, and recurrence detection. […]
