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

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
