Hybrid Imaging

Hybrid imaging refers to combining two or more imaging techniques to provide a more comprehensive view of a subject—typically used in medical diagnostics. For example, PET/CT combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) to show both the structure of internal organs and their metabolic activity. This integration allows doctors to diagnose diseases more accurately, monitor treatment effectiveness, and make better-informed decisions about patient care. By leveraging the strengths of different methods, hybrid imaging enhances the overall quality of diagnostic information.
