Currently, most fusion images are made up of SPECT or PET superimposed on CT or MRI, combining tissue characterization or physiologic measurement from nuclear medicine with anatomic data from radiology. This article discusses the many variations of fusion and its clinical applications.Wednesday, 02 May 2001 10:46:16 GMT
