Is imaging the extremities with PEM feasible? A novel application for a high-resolution positron emission scanner

Introduction Positron emission mammography (PEM) has better spatial resolution than positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), or PET/CT. We evaluated the feasibility of extremity imaging with PEM using PET as a standard. Methods/Materials Fourteen patients underwent sequential PET/CT and PEM. Results/discussion PEM visualized with equal or improved resolution all of the lesions identified on PET/CT. It often provided additional...
