Hybrid Imaging Systems

Hybrid imaging systems combine two or more imaging techniques to provide more detailed and accurate images of the body, improving diagnosis and treatment. For example, PET/CT combines positron emission tomography (PET), which shows metabolic activity, with computed tomography (CT), which gives precise anatomical details. This enables doctors to see how a disease is affecting both the structure and function of organs or tissues. Hybrid imaging enhances the ability to detect conditions like cancer, assess treatment response, and plan surgeries, offering a more comprehensive view than single-modality imaging alone.
