Linear increased uptake in the mid-line adjacent to the anterior abdominal wall was due to a wound infection. Source: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas. High-definition is the goal in PET/CT imaging. HD met PET/CT last year when Siemens Medical Solutions introduced a new technology designed to bring significant improvements to PET/CT image quality. High Definition PET (HD•PET) brings the promise of sharper and more clearly defined images across the entire field of view, as well as the potential to provide greater accuracy in lesion detection, especially small lesions, and thus improve cancer staging and more targeted treatment. 6 Molecular Imaging Insight | March 2008 MolecularImaging.net http://www.healthimaging.com/files/HD-Ready_Brochure.pdf http://MolecularImaging.net
