SCOPE
The decent emerging dual-modality imaging systems by combining two diagnostic technologies in a single system have demonstrated potentials to not only enhance clinical decision-making and outcomes but also bring economic benefit with the like of 2-for-1 cost. The examples include combined computed tomography (CT) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), integrated CT with X-ray angiography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with CT, and more recently positron emission tomography (PET) with MR. This session focus on both pros and cons these dual-systems bring in the healthcare to maximise their potentials.
