Lung CA II PET / CT


Click image for full size
This is just a quick update to show a VR PET /CT of a left hilar lung cancer. This is a PET image fused to an average intensity projection image. I think it demonstrates nicely the relationship of the tumor uptake to the airway and the left upper lobe post obstructive pneumonia

In an earlier post I mentioned Amide as a nice freeware for image fusion. I should give equal time to MIM. This CLEVELAND based company founded by Dennis Nelson PhD makes terrific visualization software for nuclear imaging and medical imaging in general. It is actually what we use most for daily PET/CT reading. The reason is that it is very intuitive and does a great job streamlining PET /CT work flow. They are also doing a great job integrating their software with PACS systems.
