Whole-body PET/MRI of Pediatric Patients: The Details That Matter

Preliminary report of a new method of whole body CT-scanning
Abstract:
The authors suggest a new approach to CT-body examination derived from their experience in spinal investigations. They introduce a method of gantry tilt in association with inclination of the patient, and call the new mode "longitudino-axial sectioning". This method makes possible the simultaneous display of several vertebral levels, which is not possible with conventional CT-scanning. They suggest that by extrapolation, the method may be applied to thoracic and abdominal investigations, as well as to the study of joints. In addition, this technique could be the method of choice whenever urinary and biliary tracts have to be investigated for diagnostic and/or interventional purposes.

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...
