Positron emission tomographyâcomputed tomography is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography scanner and an x-ray computed tomography scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed image. Thus, functional imaging obtained by PET, which depicts the spatial distribution of metabolic or biochemical activity in the body can be more precisely aligned or correlated ...
Diagnostic Imaging Northwest. Diagnostic Imaging Northwest (DINW) is a collaborative alliance between TRA-MINW and MultiCare Health System. DINW provides diagnostic radiology services at five locations throughout the South Sound.
Bone Imaging. Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) are both state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging tools. A PET/CT scan with Sodium Fluoride F 18 Injection (18F NaF) is a nuclear imaging test that scans the entire skeletal system and produces images of the bones. These images are used to detect areas of abnormal bone growth associated with tumors that may have spread from different organs, such as the breast or prostate.
