Abstract
The use of PET-CT has significantly improved PET performances increasing its sensitivity and specificity. In this article, the authors give examples where the use of PET-CT was determinant. They insist on the necessary collaboration between nuclear medicine practitioners and radiologists in order to analyze all informations brought by CT.
Résumé
L’imagerie hybride en oncologie (TEP-scanner) a été d’un apport déterminant, améliorant les performances du TEP en termes de sensibilité et de spécificité. Les auteurs passent en revue plusieurs situations où l’imagerie hybride s’est avérée décisive et insistent sur la nécessaire collaboration avec les radiologues afin d’exploiter de façon optimale les capacités du scanner couplé au TEP.
