Role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET /CT) in assessment of pediatric lymphoma
Liza William Boushra Zaki;
Abstract
In the last decade, Combined PET/CT has been introduced into the field of oncologic imaging representing a unique imaging
modality that scans the whole body integrating functional information from a PET scan with anatomical information from a CT scan. Combined PET/CT is considered a major breakthrough in oncologic imaging where PET and CT complement each other’s strengths. Combined PET/CT adds a significant benefit compared to either of its components alone, as well as compared to side by side reading of separately acquired PET and CT. This can be explained by the integration of advantages of both modalities while overcoming the limitations of each.
