A PET scan uses radioactive tracers injected into the body to produce 3D images showing functional processes. A short-lived radioactive tracer, FDG, is injected and detected as it breaks down, showing glucose metabolism levels in tissues. Different metabolism levels appear as different colors, allowing the computer to generate images of functional abnormalities like cancers or brain disorders. PET scans can detect diseases earlier than other scans and help avoid unnecessary surgery by precisely identifying areas needing treatment.

Positron emission Tomography (PET)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a diagnostic imaging technique that measures metabolic activity in the body. It was developed in the 1970s and provided the first functional information about the brain. PET involves injecting a radioactive tracer, usually attached to glucose, and detecting gamma ray emissions to produce images showing organ and tissue function. It is used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the brain, heart, cancers, Alzheimer's disease, and some neurological disorders. PET provides information about biochemical processes rather than just anatomical structures.
Positron Emission Tomography
A brief introduction about the Neuro-cognitive technique Positron Emission Tomography widely used in neurolinguistics and for medical purposes like tumor detection etc.
Nuclear Medicine - PET/CT
PET/CT is a medical imaging technique that combines a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner into a single gantry system. This allows it to obtain both functional metabolic information from PET and anatomic information from CT in a single imaging session. The PET data provides physiological functional imaging while the CT data provides accurate structural information. By combining the PET and CT images, diagnostic accuracy and localization of lesions is improved for conditions like cancer, infections, and inflammation. The PET/CT scan involves intravenous injection of FDG, a CT scan, a PET scan, and generation of thousands of fused PET/CT images which are reconstructed, reformatted and analyzed.
Positron Emissions Tomography (PET SCAN)
A PET scan uses radioactive tracers to detect disease in the body at a cellular level. It works by injecting a small amount of radioactive sugar molecule called FDG into the bloodstream. Cancer cells absorb more FDG than normal cells, allowing cancers to be seen as hot spots on PET images. PET scans are useful for detecting cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and evaluating treatment response. While exposing patients to radiation, PET scans provide metabolic imaging to detect diseases earlier than other scans.
Positron Emission Tomography
PET scans use small amounts of radioactive tracers injected into the body to produce images showing how organs and tissues are functioning. A PET scan works by detecting gamma rays emitted by the tracers, allowing visualization of processes like blood flow, metabolic activity, and biochemical processes. PET scans are used to diagnose and manage conditions like cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders.
Basic principle of ct and ct generations
This document provides information about computed tomography (CT) scanning. It discusses:
- The basic principles of CT scanning, which involves using X-rays from multiple angles to reconstruct cross-sectional images of the body.
- Key parts of a CT machine including the X-ray tube, detectors, collimators, and gantry which houses these components and rotates around the patient.
- How CT images are formed based on measuring the attenuation of X-rays through tissue, and assigning numbers in Hounsfield units to produce grayscale images.
- Factors that influence image quality such as noise, resolution, and radiation dose considerations.
Positron emission tomographic scan
PET scans use radioactive tracers and detectors to generate 3D images of metabolic processes in the body. They have various applications in neurology for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like dementia, epilepsy, movement disorders, and brain tumors. For example, PET can help differentiate Alzheimer's from other dementias based on patterns of hypometabolism in temporal and parietal lobes. It is also useful for localizing epileptic foci before epilepsy surgery. The document discusses the history, mechanisms, common tracers, and limitations of PET scanning as well as its role in evaluating specific neurological conditions and potential future applications.
Principles and application of PET CT & PET MR
PET-CT and PET-MR provide functional imaging through PET as well as anatomical imaging through CT or MRI. PET involves radiolabeling molecules like FDG with positron emitters, injecting them into patients, and using coincident detection of annihilation photons to construct 3D images. PET-CT provides accurate localization of functional abnormalities and distinction of normal from pathological tracer uptake. Whole-body PET-MRI is an emerging technique that combines the molecular imaging of PET with the excellent soft tissue contrast of MRI.

Introduction to Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radioactive tracers and imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases. It involves introducing radioactive substances into the patient's body and using a gamma camera to image their distribution and function within organs and tissues. Common nuclear medicine procedures include thyroid scans, bone scans, renal scans, and hepatobiliary scans to evaluate organ function. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an advanced nuclear medicine technique gaining importance in cancer imaging and care.
SPECT
Tomography involves measuring gamma ray attenuation along lines of sight at different angles in order to reconstruct the internal structure of an object. Filtered back projection enhances edges in the projection data through filtering and backprojects the filtered data to form an image. Iterative reconstruction accounts for physical factors like attenuation, scatter, and noise by comparing projections of a patient model to actual data and updating the model. Quality control ensures proper system operation through tests of the center of rotation, uniformity, and ability to detect small objects.
Pet positron emission tomography (pet)
PET is a nuclear imaging technique that produces 3D images of functional processes in the body. It detects gamma rays emitted by a radioactive tracer introduced into the body. 3D images showing tracer concentration are constructed via computer analysis. PET scans are used to diagnose cancer, heart problems, and brain disorders by revealing organ size, shape, position and some functions. They can also show how far cancer has spread and poor blood flow areas in the heart. Preparation may involve fasting for 4-6 hours before the scan. The tracer is injected intravenously and patients must lie still during the scan while the PET detects signals from the tracer to create images for doctors to analyze.
Ct ppt 2
Computed tomography (CT) uses x-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. CT imaging involves data acquisition where x-rays are passed through the body and detected, image reconstruction where computer processing converts the data into images, and image display. Key factors in image quality include spatial and contrast resolution. CT has advanced from single detector to multi-detector systems, allowing faster scanning over larger areas.
SPECT/PET Scans
PET scans use radioactive tracers and positron emission tomography to create 3D images of processes in the body. A PET scan injects a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream which is detected as it undergoes positron emission. This allows PET scans to detect cancer, diagnose Alzheimer's disease early, and determine if bypass surgery would be effective. Possible side effects include injection site soreness and allergic reactions to the tracer. SPECT scans also use radioactive tracers but detect blood flow through the body. SPECT scans emit less radiation than PET scans or CT scans and are commonly used for pre-surgical evaluations and detecting reduced blood flow or tumors.
CT Scan Image reconstruction
1. Computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction involves estimating digital images from measured x-ray projection data. Early methods included back projection, which was simple but produced blurred images.
2. Modern commercial CT scanners use analytical methods like filtered back projection or Fourier filtering to reduce blurring. These methods apply spatial or frequency domain filters to projection data before back projecting to reconstruct the image.
3. Iterative reconstruction methods were also developed and provide better image quality than analytical methods but are too computationally intensive for clinical use. Current research aims to make iterative methods fast enough for real-time medical imaging.
Computed tomogrphy(c
Digital image processing in recent year has shown a tremendous potential for application to medical sciences and one of them is “Computed Tomography scanning machine“. Conventional x-ray has a disadvantage while examining the internal structure of the body that it superimposes the 3D image of our body into single plane which makes diagnosis often difficult and confusing. But Computed tomography (CT) imaging systems generate three-dimensional (3-D) images of internal body structures using complex x-ray and computer-aided tomographic imaging techniques. Digital processing geometry are widely used in three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of bone geometry and density features for 3-D modelling purposes. For this C.t scanning is widely used in industrial sector and in medical sector. This report represents an overview of “C.T scanning” technique, its advantages and application related to different sector.
Helical and Multislice CT
Helical and multislice CT techniques provide advantages over traditional slice-by-slice CT scanning. Helical CT, also known as spiral CT, involves continuously transporting the patient through the gantry while acquiring data during multiple 360 degree scans, allowing for increased speed, improved image continuity and less motion artifact. Multislice CT uses multiple parallel detectors to scan a greater volume of the patient per rotation, providing shorter acquisition times, improved z-axis resolution, and more information for radiologists. Both techniques rely on technological advances like slip-ring devices and interpolation algorithms to efficiently process the continuously acquired data into diagnostic images.

Ultrasound imaging
Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to visualize internal structures. It works by transmitting sound waves into the body using a transducer probe, which detects the echoes as they bounce off tissues and organs. The echoes are processed to form images on the ultrasound machine screen in real-time. Common applications include obstetrics, cardiology, and urology. The Philips HD11 is an ultrasound system with curvilinear, linear, and phased array probes for different exams. It provides grey scale, Doppler, and color imaging modes. Ultrasound has benefits of being non-invasive, portable, and having no radiation, but has limitations of being operator dependent and unable to penetrate bone.
PET CT
The sculpture "The Short, Rich Life of Positronium" commemorates fundamental research on antimatter conducted at the University of Michigan. Positron emission tomography (PET) uses positron-emitting radioactive isotopes as tracers and coincidence detection of the resulting back-to-back photons to construct tomographic images. PET enables visualization of functional processes in the body by tracking radioactive tracers like fluorodeoxyglucose, which is used to show glucose metabolism and thus tissue activity. While providing valuable medical information, PET also involves some radiation risks due to the penetrating nature of the emitted photons.
PET CAMBRIDGE ESOL

CT is useful for imaging many neurological conditions such as trauma, tumors, strokes, and infections. It provides anatomical details quickly and is widely available, but MRI generally provides better soft tissue contrast. PET combined with CT or MRI provides functional imaging of brain metabolism and is useful for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, seizures, and cancers. Both CT and PET have advantages and limitations and are generally used together with other clinical information for diagnosis and management of neurological diseases.

PET 4.pptx
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a nuclear imaging technique that produces 3D images by detecting gamma rays emitted indirectly by a radioactive tracer injected into the body. The tracer is usually a positron-emitting isotope produced in a cyclotron, such as fluorodeoxyglucose. As the isotope decays, it releases positrons that interact with electrons, producing gamma ray photons detected by the PET scanner to construct 3D images. PET is useful for neuroimaging, clinical oncology to detect tumors, and cardiology as it can show blood flow, oxygen use, and glucose metabolism in tissues.
PET.docx
PET scans use radioactive tracers to detect metabolic activity in tissues and organs. The tracer is introduced and detected by the PET scanner, which produces images showing tracer distribution. Main applications include detecting cancer spread or recurrence, assessing heart damage after attack, and discovering brain disorders like Alzheimer's. However, PET scans involve radiation exposure and require nearby radioactive isotope production facilities.

Anuja.ppt
This document provides information about PET scans and endoscopies. It explains that a PET scan uses radioactive tracers and detects gamma ray pairs to produce 3D images showing functional body processes. PET scans are often used alongside other scans like MRI and CT scans to aid in diagnosis and evaluate treatment effectiveness. An endoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the interior of organs. It is used to investigate conditions like cancer, ulcers and bleeding. Both procedures provide internal views of the body but PET scans show function while endoscopies allow visual examination and sample collection. Potential risks of endoscopy include tearing or puncturing organs.
Positron emission tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that uses radiolabeled tracers to produce images showing their distribution in the body. During a PET scan, a tracer containing a radioactive isotope is injected and decays, emitting positrons. The positrons interact with electrons, producing pairs of gamma rays detected by the PET scanner to reconstruct images. PET scans are used to study brain function, detect and characterize cancers, and examine heart disease. Advantages include showing tissue function, but disadvantages include expense and limited availability.
SPECT Scan
A SPECT scan uses radioactive tracers and computed tomography to show blood flow to organs and tissues. A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected and detected as it passes through the body. Images are created as the tracer is detected, allowing visualization of blood flow. SPECT scans are commonly used to examine the brain, bones, and to detect tumors.
Nuclear medicine Img.pptx
Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive tracers and imaging technologies like gamma cameras and PET/SPECT scanners to visualize how the body functions at the cellular level. It can help detect diseases earlier than other methods and guide treatment. Nuclear medicine is commonly used to diagnose and manage cancers, heart conditions, brain disorders and more. It involves minimal radiation exposure and has been safely used for decades. Future developments may include more hybrid imaging combining modalities to provide both anatomical and functional information.
Pet scan and thyroid scan
This document discusses PET and thyroid scans. PET uses radioactive tracers to provide metabolic and functional imaging, and has better resolution than SPECT but is more expensive. Thyroid scans use radioactive iodine or technetium tracers to evaluate the thyroid gland for abnormalities, nodules, or cancer. Both scans involve injecting or ingesting radioactive tracers and using gamma cameras to detect their accumulation and distribution in the body to assess health and function.
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY.pptx
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear imaging technique that produces 3D images of functional processes in the body. It detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a radioactive tracer introduced into the body. Different tracers are used to image different biological functions. PET provides quantitative metabolic and physiological information that can aid in disease diagnosis. It is more functional than anatomical imaging modalities like CT and MRI.
Nuclear medicine
Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive tracers and imaging technology to diagnose and treat diseases. There are two main types of nuclear imaging - positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). PET provides higher resolution images with short scan times, while SPECT is more widely used and less expensive, with longer-lasting radioactive tracers. Nuclear imaging offers unique functional and molecular information not available through other techniques like X-ray and CT scans, enabling early disease detection. It can evaluate organ function and metabolism to identify issues.

What is Nuclear Medicine?
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive tracers and imaging technologies to diagnose and treat diseases. It allows physicians to obtain medical information noninvasively that may otherwise require surgery or more invasive tests. Nuclear medicine procedures can identify abnormalities early in the progression of diseases and allow for earlier treatment when prognosis is better. Over 18 million nuclear medicine procedures are performed annually in the United States to diagnose and treat many different types of diseases.
medical imaging anatomy.pptx
Medical imaging refers to techniques that create visual representations of the body's interior, including X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and positron emission tomography (PET). X-rays produce images of bones and dense tissues while CT scans create detailed 3D images; MRI uses magnets and radio waves to image soft tissues; ultrasound uses sound waves to view organs; nuclear medicine and PET involve radioactive tracers; and medical imaging plays a key role in diagnosis and treatment but risks like radiation exposure must be considered.
Nuclear medicine and its applications
Nuclear medicine involves injecting radioactive tracers and using gamma cameras to image how the inside of the body is working. A small amount of radioactive medication is administered and detected as it emits radiation, allowing special cameras to take pictures of organs and physiological processes. Different tracers can image various organs depending on where they accumulate. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) improves on planar nuclear medicine imaging by using gamma camera rotation to generate 3D, cross-sectional images of the body.

They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
Breast cancer :hormonal discordance.pptx
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Public Health Lecture 4 Social Sciences and Public Health

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

PET scan
- 1. PROJECT Positron Emission Tomography PET SCAN DATE NOV.1ST 2013 CLIENT THERESA YIP & MICHELLE MA
- 2. What is a PET Scan? Full name: Positron Emission Tomography A nuclear medical imaging technique which produces a three dimensional image of functional processes in the body. Especially valuable in imaging the brain Detects the metabolism level of injected substances (glucose), made radioactive to show the most active parts of the brain.
- 3. How does a PET scan work? A short lived radioactive tracer isotope (a simple sugar and a small amount of radioactive fluorine), called F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), is injected into the patient. The tracer is chemically incorporated in to a biologically active molecule(usually glucose). PET detects the gamma rays emitted by positively-charged particles (positrons) when the radiotracer is broken down inside the body Different concentrations of positrons that represent different levels of tissue function then show up as areas of different colours and brightness These are then processed by the computer to generate images.
- 4. PET Scan images IMAGES ON HOW THE BRAIN SCAN LOOKS DURING DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
- 5. Strengths Early PET scan can diagnose any abnormalities in activity level e.g. Can help detect cancer, brain disorders, heart conditions and other diseases By identifying changes in the body at the cellular level, PET imaging may detect the early onset of disease before it is evident on other imaging tests such as CT or MRI. PET scan can avoid unnecessary surgery For many diseases, nuclear medicine scans yield the most useful information needed to make a diagnosis or to determine appropriate treatment, if any. Nuclear medicine is less expensive and may yield more precise information than exploratory surgery. The information provided by nuclear medicine examinations is unique and often unattainable using other imaging procedures.
- 6. Limitations Time-consuming Not as precise as fMRI scan PET scan might be dangerous depending on each individual’s heart conditions PET scan can sometimes show up areas of high activity which my be mistake for cancers The radioactive substance has a very short decay and therefore appointments must run on schedule. PET scans are a very expensive form of imaging, and are not readily available all the time.
