Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

255
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (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...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

6.6K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Breast positron emission tomography (PET) has been covered by insurance in Japan since 2013 when used with conventional whole-body PET.
  • Accurate breast cancer examination and metastatic disease diagnosis with breast PET aid treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update readers on the second edition of the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine's practice guidelines for breast PET.
  • To provide an overview of updated breast PET technologies, imaging methods, clinical applications, and future prospects.

Main Methods:

  • The revised guidelines encompass two detector-placement types of breast PET: opposite-type (positron emission mammography; PEM) and ring-shaped type (dedicated breast PET; dbPET).
  • The guidelines define "breast PET" to include both PEM and dbPET devices.

Main Results:

  • The second edition of the guidelines supports both PEM and dbPET, offering guidance on their use.
  • The updated guidelines aim to facilitate safer, smoother, and more appropriate breast PET examinations.

Conclusions:

  • Up-to-date breast PET practice guidelines are crucial for evidence-based breast imaging.
  • The revised guidelines provide valuable information for healthcare professionals utilizing advanced breast PET technologies.
