Abstract
KEYNOTE LECTURE: PET-CT in oncology: making the most of CT - Cancer Imaging KEYNOTE LECTURE: PET-CT in oncology: making the most of CT - Combined positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has made a significant impact on cancer imaging. The use of CT to map tissue attenuation for correction of PET images and the ability to co-register the functional information provided by PET with the anatomical data afforded by CT, has resulted in demonstrable improvements in diagnostic accuracy. However, attenuation correction and anatomical localisation may not represent the full benefits of integrating CT with PET.Keywords
