Thoracic 18F-FDG PETCT
Positron emission tomography computed tomography (PETCT) is a hybrid imaging modality that provides both anatomical CT and functional PET information in a single study. In clinical practice the most widely used PET imaging tracer is the glucose analogue labelled positron emitter 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). FDG accumulates in cells that demonstrate increased glucose metabolism typically seen in […]
