    		PET/CT in Chulabhorn Cancer Centre
    PET/CT is the new technology that merges PET and CT into one combined scanning system. The anatomical pictures produced by the CT scanner can be fused with the molecular images from PET, and physicians can then use these fused images to target more effective therapies. The used of PET/CT scanning has dramatically increased in the past five years as PET as fluorodeoxyglucose (F18-FDG) that produced from cyclotron has begun to play major in managing cancer patients. Increasing application are emerging incardiology, espectially in determining myocardial viability. PET has also demonstrated effective in the evaluation of brain disorders, particularly in patients with dementia and epilepsy. Recent studies have shown a high degree of sensitivity and specificity for detection of Alzheimer's disease, even at early stage and in some instances before the disease has become manifest.
