PET/CT systems combine nuclear medicine imaging (PET) with X-ray-based CT scans to create detailed, fused images that pinpoint metabolic activity within the body. Clinically, they are used for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases by revealing both anatomical structure and functional processes in a single scan.
These systems are typically regulated as complex medical imaging devices, often requiring compliance with radiation safety standards and performance validation. They are usually supplied as integrated units or modular components, with some configurations allowing standalone PET or CT operation while others emphasize fused imaging workflows for precise diagnostic planning.
