PET–CT: History, Procedure for FDG imaging & Overview

Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET–CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) and a computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session. The combination of image data are then integrated into a…
