Obtaining good. fusion splices is much easier today, due to continued improvements to the fusion splice equipment, procedures and. practices, in addition to the evolutionary improvements in controlling optical fiber geometries. As a result, losses.
In CT, the total amount of radiation incident on the patient, known as the DLP, is the product of the CTDIvol and scan length (in centimeters) and is measured in milligray-centimeters.
The actual scanning time for the 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET/CT is generally 15-20 minutes, as compared with 45-60 minutes for the conventional bone scan. While the complete 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET/CT study will require about one hour, the 99mTc-MDP study will require some four hours.
