The advancement of medical technology has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years. Innovations revolutionized the way we diagnose, monitor, and treat diseases.
LIVER ELASTOGRAPHY
SHEAR WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY Shear wave elastography is a newer ultrasound technology used to check tissue stiffness. A transducer delivers high-intensity pulses that produce shear waves, which create a higher-quality image. The concept is similar to strain elastography, but instead of using transducer pressure to compare a shift in an ultrasound A-line (thereby measuring changes in strain), a […]
Neuro PET
What is Positron Emission Tomography (PET)? Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of nuclear medicine procedure that measures metabolic activity of the cells of body tissues. PET is actually a combination of nuclear medicine and biochemical analysis. Used mostly in patients with brain or heart conditions and cancer, PET helps to visualize the biochemical […]
Gallium PET (GA 68)- DOTATOC AND PSMA
DOTATOC Scan – Prominent images for finer diagnosis In recent times, PET CT studies have gained much importance in detecting many diseases. In many diseases like neuroendocrine tumors etc often get missed on a standard FDG PET study. Ga-68 labeled PET studies are asked for such clinical situations. Alike standard PET scans, the G8-Ga labeled PET […]
