Tomography combines tomography with radionuclide tracers to produce enhanced images of selected body organs or areas. true or false

Respuesta :

Answer:

True and it is seen in Positron emission tomography (PET)

Explanation:

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests

PET scans can reveal areas of decreased blood flow in the heart. This information can help you and your doctor decide, for example, whether you might benefit from a procedure to open clogged heart arteries (angioplasty) or coronary artery bypass surgery.

It can be used to detect:

Brain disorders

PET scans can be used to evaluate certain brain disorders, such as tumors, Alzheimer's disease and seizures.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Positron emission topography is an imaging technique that combines tomography with radionuclide tracers(usually inserted into a vein) to produce enhanced images of selected body organs or areas. Also called PET imaging. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

Application:

  • PET scan of the whole body helps to detect cancer. In addition it helps to determine the effects of cancer therapy
  • PET scan of the heart is used to determine the blood flow to the heart muscle
  • PET scan of the brain is done to evaluate certain brain disorders such as tumors, seizures . alzheimer's disease etc
