Die Fluor-18-Fluor-Desoxy-Glukose (18FDG)-Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET/CT) spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Behandlung von Krebserkrankungen. Obwohl die Hybridkamera einen nicht-diagnostischen Scanner verwendet, trägt sie zu einer zusätzlichen Bestrahlung der Patienten bei. Ziel war die Bewertung der zusätzlichen effektiven Dosis, die die CT im Vergleich zur 18FDG-PET bei einer erwachsenen Population, die sich dieser Untersuchung unterzogen hat, liefert. An dieser prospektiven Studie nahmen 35 Patienten im Alter zwischen 19 und 81 Jahren teil, wobei das Geschlechterverhältnis...

Hybrid metastable technetium-99-labelled methoxyisobutyl isonitrile(99mTc-MIBI) imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of hyperparathyroidism. The aim of this study is to illustrate the value of 99mTc-MIBI single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) compared with planar imaging .This prospective study included 60 patients aged 17 to 92 years, with a sex ratio of 14:1. Planar imaging showed a parathyroid adenoma in 15 cases, was normal in 44 cases, and was suspicious in one case. SPECT/CT showed a parathyroid adenoma in 30 cases, was...

Fluorine-18 FluoroDesoxyGlucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET/CT) plays an important role in cancer management. Despite the fact that the hybrid camera uses a non-diagnostic scanner, it contributes to additional patient irradiation. The aim was to evaluate the additional effective dose delivered by CT to 18 FDG PET in an adult population who received this examination. This prospective study included 35 patients aged from 19 to 81 years, with a sex ratio of 1.69 F/H. The mean effective dose of the PET part was 4.560 mSv, with extremes ranging from 2.263 to 7.44 mSv. The mean...
