whole body imaging

Whole body imaging such as whole body bone imaging, whole body blood pool imaging, whole body lymph imaging, whole body soft tissue imaging, whole body tumor marker imaging and systemic imaging of drugs in animal experiments. Conducting a "general census" is very valuable for finding metastases of malignant tumors. Systemic bone imaging can detect metastases in the most easily metastatic cases such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, intestinal cancer, and anterior fissure adenocarcinoma. Stove. It also plays a non-negligible role in helping to make surgical treatments (such as amputation). Basic Information Specialist Category: Oncology Inspection Category: Radionuclide Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Before removing the metal objects worn by the body, you can eat normally. Drink plenty of water after the injection. Empty the urine before the examination. Do not stain the clothes and body. Normal value An examination method based on the difference in radioactivity concentration between the normal tissue and the lesion site, the abnormal radioactive concentration focus or the sparse defect of the lesion site can be initially judged or qualitatively diagnosed by visual inspection, and the computer can be used to delineate the ROI technique, respectively, in the lesion site. Semi-quantitative analysis was performed by obtaining the ratio of target organ tissue to background (T/B) uptake with the corresponding normal tissues. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Finding metastases for malignant tumors is very valuable. Whole body bone imaging can detect metastases in early cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and anterior fissure adenocarcinoma. It also plays a non-negligible role in helping to make surgical treatments (such as amputation). Patients with cancer who need to be examined and patients with related diseases can be examined. Positive results may be diseases: lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, sporadic goiter in children Pre-inspection contraindications: Remove metal objects (belts, watches, keys, necklaces, etc.) worn by the body before inspection to improve image quality. Requirements for inspection: It is necessary to start the examination after the injection of the drug for 2.5h~3h. It can be eaten normally. Drink plenty of water after the injection. Empty the urine before the examination. Do not stain the clothes and body. Inspection process The probe of the gamma camera moves uniformly from head to foot along the body surface, collects the radioactivity of various parts of the whole body and displays it as a planar whole body image; or performs whole-body tomographic imaging with PET or line SPECT, according to the field of view of the probe, step by step. The information is collected, and the image is reconstructed and connected to obtain a full-body tomographic image. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: no special requirements. Adverse reactions and risks Nothing.
