Combination

PET/CT imaging systems integrate positron emission tomography and X-ray computed tomography, whereby the CT component produces cross-sectional images through computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data whilst the PET component images the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in the patient body. These systems are used to image the whole body, head, heart, brain, lung, breast, bone, gastrointestinal and lymphatic systems, and other organs, as well as for standalone diagnostic CT imaging.
