AI in Medical Imaging Informatics: Current Challenges and Future Directions (2020, unknown): “PET is commonly used in combination with CT imaging (PET/CT) [28] and more recently PET/MR [29] to provide complementary information of a potential abnormality.”
Review of Long-Wavelength Optical and NIR Imaging Materials: Contrast Agents, Fluorophores and Multifunctional Nano Carriers (2012, background): “Therefore, nanoparticles with dye localized in a hydrophobic core have several advantages: (1) the possibility of increased brightness due to the core volume increasing linearly with mass, (2) a large variety of dyes that cannot be made in hydrophilic form, or which are brighter in hydrophobic form,”
Determination of the attenuation map in emission tomography. (2003, methodology): “Combined SPECT/CT or PET/CT devices acquire transmission data rapidly and simplify the process of registering the emission data to the CT-derived anatomic images (61,62,64,97).”
Deep Learning-based Image Segmentation on Multimodal Medical Imaging (2019, background): “For example, simultaneous acquisition of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) [1] has become a standard clinical practice for a number of applications.”
