A retired Bureau field agent with years of experience and a Sniper Cannon on his shoulder, here to help 73-6. Is most likely the one who made 73-6 want to leave the Bureau as he slipped a strange disk into his tank when he was being revived for the 6th time.
A. Small cell lung cancer is a serious disease that requires aggressive treatment and close monitoring of the response to the medicines is justified. Under these circumstances, the amount of radiation obtained by routine diagnostic CT scans is justified, say 1 scan every 3 months for a year or two.
Patients also spend just 20 minutes in the scanner with PET/CT as compared to 45 minutes with conventional exams. Although NaF PET/CT scans deliver a slightly higher dose of radiation than conventional scans (5 mSv versus 7.4 mSv), the radiation exposure is still low. In fact, NaF PET/CT may prove accurate enough to reduce the need for additional imaging tests, leading to lower overall radiation exposure for patients.
