Abstract:
More than 6000 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed annually in the Czech Republic. While incidence in men remains stagnant in recent years, incidence in women steadily grows. Combined imaging modality positron-emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) becomes the imaging method of choice for an increasing number of oncology indications, including lung cancer. With this integrated PET/CT device, accurately registered anatomic and functional images can be acquired in a single examination. Having such aligned image sets available has been shown to increase the accuracy of the interpretation of pulmonary nodules and pulmonary masses.

Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
