[Clinical importance of emission-computed tomography of the skull in bone scintigraphy]
Abstract:
Sixty-five ECT examinations were carried out in patients with abnormalities of the skull base and paranasal sinuses and the results were compared with ordinary scintigraphy and CT. ECT provides additional information as compared with scintigraphy by its images in three planes, which are free of superimposition. This is of value in the localisation of the lesion and for determining its extent and activity. It is a functional tomographic method which is complementary to the morphological information provided by CT. The indications and value of the method in inflammatory, metastatic and neoplastic diseases are discussed.

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...
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...

Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
