Abstract:
In the past decade, there have been many contributions demonstrating the advantages of combining morphologic and molecular imaging, and with commercial PET/CT scanners emerging in the same time frame, PET/CT has already had a significant impact on patient management. Ultimately, molecular imaging-guided radiotherapy holds the promise of improved definition of tumor target volumes. Yet, despite considerable progress to date, challenges remain if the potential of PET/CT-guided radiotherapy treatment planning is to be fully exploited in clinics.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

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...
