SPECT-CT and PET-CT
ر SPECT-CT وPET-CT في معهد برجيل للسرطان أدوات تشخيصية متقدمة للكشف عن أنواع السرطان المختلفة وتحديد مراحلها ومراقبتها. تجمع أنظمة التصوير الهجين هذه بين الطب النووي والتصوير المقطعي المحوسب
Key Features
Both SPECT-CT and PET-CT offer several features that make them invaluable in cancer diagnostics and management:
Cancers Diagnosed and Monitored with SPECT-CT and PET-CT
These imaging systems are used to diagnose, stage, and monitor a wide range of cancers, including:
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Lymphoma (Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s)
- Colorectal cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Thyroid cancer
- Melanoma
- Head and neck cancer
- Bone metastases (secondary cancer spread to bones)
- Neuroendocrine tumors
- Other solid tumors and metastatic cancers
Benefits of SPECT-CT and PET-CT
These advanced imaging systems provide numerous benefits to patients and physicians:
Accurate Diagnosis
PET-CT and SPECT-CT offer a comprehensive view of cancer activity and anatomical structures, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and staging of cancer.
Early Detection
PET-CT can detect metabolic changes in cells before structural changes are visible, allowing for earlier diagnosis and improved treatment outcomes.
Treatment Planning
The detailed images provided by these scans guide radiation oncologists and surgeons in planning precise treatments, such as radiation therapy or surgical tumor removal.
Monitoring Treatment Response
Both technologies are invaluable for assessing how well a treatment is working by monitoring changes in cancerous activity, helping to adjust treatment plans if necessary.
Minimally Invasive
Both imaging techniques are non-invasive and painless, offering patients a safe way to undergo comprehensive cancer diagnostics.
