Multi-modality Imaging: PET, CT and SPECT, CT

There are very few imaging procedures which are truly multi-modality procedures. Two procedures are usually conducted in parallel, rather than as one. Positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) and Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT), however, are produced by one piece of equipment, possibly by a single technician, but with multiple imaging energies.

Positron emission tomography with computed tomography 

  • FSN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of X (procedure)

  • PT: PET CT of X

  • SYN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of X 

    • For example,

      • {"timestamp":1758140190612,"msg":"A unknown Exception Occurred","errorMsg":"The provided AtlassianHostUser did not specify a user to act as.","code":"500"}

        • FSN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of brain (procedure)

        • PT: PET CT of brain

        • SYN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of brain

Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography

  • FSN: Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of X (procedure) 

  • PT: Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of X
