Multi-modality Imaging: PET, CT and SPECT, CT

There are very few imaging procedures which are truly multi-modality procedures. Two procedures are usually conducted in parallel, rather than as one. Positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) and Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT), however, are produced by one piece of equipment, possibly by a single technician, but with multiple imaging energies.

Positron emission tomography with computed tomography

• FSN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of X (procedure)

• PT: PET CT of X

• SYN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of X

  • For example,

    • 16554361000119106 | Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of brain (procedure)|

      • FSN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of brain (procedure)

      • PT: PET CT of brain

      • SYN: Positron emission tomography with computed tomography of brain

Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography

• FSN: Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of X (procedure)

• PT: Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of X

• SYN: SPECT CT of X

  • For example,

    • 16534151000119105 | Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of liver (procedure)|

      • FSN: Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of liver (procedure)

      • PT: Single photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography of liver

      • SYN: SPECT CT of liver
