Zusammenfassung
Mit zunehmender Verbreitung von kombinierten PET/CT-Geräten hat die multimodale nuklearmedizinisch-radiologische Bildgebung in den letzten Jahren Einzug in die klinische Routine gefunden. Im Rahmen dieser Übersicht werden die notwendigen Komponenten für die multimodale Bildgebung, Strategien der Bildanalyse und Bildpräsentation sowie die diagnostischen Erwartungen an die kombinierte Diagnostik vorgestellt und diskutiert. Als zentraler Punkt wird die Frage abgehandelt, inwieweit kombinierte Geräte durch eine Softwarelösung auf der Basis getrennter Untersuchungen an getrennten Geräten ersetzt werden können. Die Vorteile und Limitationen der multimodalen Bildgebung mit kombinierten oder getrennten Geräten werden analysiert.
Abstract
With increasing use of combined PET/CT scanners in the last few years, multimodality imaging (Nuclear Medicine/Radiology) found its way into clinical routine diagnostics. In this overview, necessary components for multimodality imaging, strategies for image analysis and image presentation, and diagnostic goals of combined imaging are demonstrated and discussed. A special focus is on the question, whether combined scanners can be replaced by a software approach with separated modalities. Advantages and limitations of multimodality imaging with combined or separated scanners are shown.
