PET/CT system (A diagnostic radiological imaging system that is a combination of a positron emission tomography (PET) camera system for nuclear medicine (NM) images, and a computed tomography (CT) camera system for x-ray images. The nuclear medicine images and the x-ray images may be registered and displayed in a fused format (overlaid in the same orientation) for the anatomical localization of the nuclear medicine data (i.e., distribution of radiopharmaceuticals). The PET and CT portions of the system may be used independently or in combination. The PET and CT images may be transferred to other systems for radiation therapy planning or additional processing.)
