Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Modern computed tomography (CT) offers rapid data acquisition capabilities.
  • Contrast agents can function as tracers in dynamic CT imaging.
  • Nuclear medicine principles can be applied to derive functional information from CT scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the theoretical basis of using contrast agents as tracers in dynamic CT.
  • To present practical applications of this methodology.
  • To explore the derivation of functional and physiological information from dynamic CT.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing fast data acquisition in computed tomography.
  • Employing contrast agents as tracers.
  • Applying nuclear medicine principles for data analysis.
