Excerpt

Several combinations of hybrid imaging have been evaluated in the last two decades [1]. From the beginning, it was clear that the combination of nuclear molecular imaging by means of PET or SPECT combined with contrast-enhanced computed tomography added a significant aspect on the sensitivity and specificity as well as the accuracy of the combined integrated methods compared to the side-by-side reading [2, 3]. …
