PET/CT fusion

J. Wheat; G. Currie; M. Trifunivic; J. Magnussen; H. Kiat

Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this poster presentation is to provide a pictorial review of the emerging role of image fusion between PET and CT to
provide a highly enriched integration of anatomical and physiological datasets
for image interpretation. In particular, these cases highlight the role of CT
in delineating PET biodistribution in anatomically complex structures; head/
neck, chest, abdomen/pelvis.

Method: The data sets were performed on a hybrid GE PET/CT system
with 64 slice CT. The data represents 5 clinical cases of torso based, FDG
based PET scans in oncology applications including 2 head and neck, 2 pelvis
and 1 whole body.

Results: The case study results provide an insight into the importance of
PET/CT fusion to diagnostic integrity.

Conclusion: PET/CT fusion plays an important role in improving the diagnostic integrity in a reciprocal fashion across a diverse range of clinical
applications.
