    Study Notes

    Classification of Imaging Modalities

    Anatomical Imaging

    • X-rays are used for basic imaging of bones and certain soft tissues.
    • CT scans provide detailed cross-sectional anatomical information.
    • MRI produces high-contrast images of soft tissues using magnetic fields.

    Functional Imaging

    • PET scans show metabolic processes occurring in the body.
    • SPECT scans are similar to PET scans but use different tracers.

    Hybrid Imaging

    • PET/CT combines anatomical and functional imaging for comprehensive diagnostics.
    • PET/MRI integrates detailed anatomical and metabolic information.
