''A PET (position emission tomography) scan involves introducing a small amount of a radioactive chemical into the body, and taking images as it moves, to study the functioning of organs or tissues. PET scans can be used to detect cancer, heart disease and ...'

''There are two types of heart CT most commonly used; the less invasive calcium scoring heart CT scan, which uses computerized tomography is used to detect calcification in the arteries, is less expensive; the more invasive CT angiography, which uses a ...'

''Researchers report a technique for high-resolution biological imaging using X-ray computed tomography (CT). X-ray CT allows noninvasive 3D reconstruction of the external and internal structures of a sample, but conventional laboratory-based CT equipment ...'

''Computed tomography colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, offers a noninvasive alternative to traditional (optical) colonoscopy for detection of precancerous polyps. The technology has been around for over 20 years, and numerous studies ...'

''An overview of the current technology involved in positron emission tomography basics for nuclear imaging - Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear imaging technology (also referred to as molecular imaging) that enables visualization of metabolic ...'

''Diagnostic examinations of the head (head scans) and of other parts of the body (body scans) performed by computerized tomography (CT) scanners are covered if medical and scientific literature and opinion support the effective use of a scan for the ...'

''New research from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine reveals a high value of scans which could lead to future change of reimbursement policies for follow-up positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) studies in lung cancer. The study, ...'

''Over the last few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the availability and application of tests that use ionizing radiation to take images of the body. These tests include computed tomography, or CT, scans and nuclear medicine exams that ...'
