ABSTRACT

On the new world tendency about making a fusion between metabolic images acquired by Positron emission tomography (PET) and morphologic images obtained by computer tomography (CT), the purpose of this review is to explain the terms using in this new imaging modality, describe the performance of this new diagnosis equipment and enumerate the indications of a PET-CT scan.
