Wosuro sɛ wɔbɛyɛ PET scan? Momma yɛnkɔ asɛm no so tẽẽ!

So wo duruyɛfo aka akyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ PET scan? Anaasɛ woate saa din yi wɔ baabi? Bere a wotee eyi no, ebia wotee ehu nka kakra na wopɛ sɛ wuhu. ‘PET’ ne din a wɔde frɛ aboa bi, na ebia woasusuw ho sɛ scan bɛn na eyi yɛ. Nsuro biribiara. Ɛnnɛ, yɛbɛka deɛ saa PET scan yi yɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ, ne deɛ wɔde di dwuma wɔ ɔkwan a ɛnyɛ den koraa so, wɔ kasa a wobɛtumi ate aseɛ mu.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, dɛn ne PET scan?

PET scan no din nyinaa ne Positron Emission Tomography scan . Nanso yɛn mu biara mfa saa din tenten no nni dwuma, wɔfrɛ no PET scan tiawa.

Eyi nso yɛ sɔhwɛ titiriw a wɔde hwɛ yɛn nipadua mu. Nanso ɛyɛ soronko kakra wɔ scan ahorow afoforo ho. Ɛma yehu sɛnea yɛn akwaa ne yɛn ntini ahorow reyɛ adwuma no ho mfonini .

Wɔ sɔhwɛ yi mu no, wɔde nnuru a ahobammɔ wom yiye, a ɛyɛ radioactive kakraa bi fa ntini bi mu gu wo nipadua mu. Yɛfrɛ eyi radiotracer . Afei, wɔde PET scanner di dwuma de hwɛ sɛnea saa nnuru yi fa wo nipadua nyinaa mu.

Susuw ho saa kwan yi so. Nkwammoaa a wɔyare wɔ yɛn nipadua mu, titiriw kokoram nkwammoaa no, "ɔkɔm de wɔn" kɛse sen nkwammoaa a wɔwɔ apɔwmuden. Wɔn nipadua mu nneɛma a ɛsakra no yɛ ntɛmntɛm yiye. Enti saa radiotracer a yɛde ma yi (mpɛn pii no ɛbata asikre bi ho), saa nkwammoaa a wɔyare "a ɔkɔm de wɔn" no twetwe no ntɛmntɛm na ɛboro nkwammoaa a wɔwɔ apɔwmuden so. Ɛte sɛ mmofra nkumaa a wɔredi chocolate.

Afei, sɛ wode scanner no hwɛ a, mmeae a radiotracer no aboaboa ano pii no, ɛte sɛ nea "kanea asɔ." Nnuruyɛfo nso frɛ eyinom "mmeae a ɛyɛ hyew." Sɛ wohwɛ saa mmeae a ɛhyerɛn no a, wubetumi ahu baabi pɔtee a ɔhaw bi wɔ nipadua no mu.

Nsonsonoe bɛn na ɛwɔ PET scan, CT ne MRI ntam?

Nnipa pii adwene tu fra wɔ scan ahorow abiɛsa yi ho. Wɔn baasa nyinaa twa nipadua no mu mfonini. Nanso ɔkwan a wɔfa so twa saa mfonini ahorow no ne nsɛm a yenya fi saa mfonini ahorow no mu no yɛ soronko koraa. Momma yɛmmɔ mmɔden sɛ yɛbɛte eyi ase ntɛm.

Mpɛn pii no, nnuruyɛfo bɛkra sɛ wɔnyɛ PET-CT scan na ama wɔanya mfaso a ɛwɔ scan ahorow abien no nyinaa so. Eyi kyerɛ sɛ wɔyɛ PET scan ne CT scan no nyinaa bere koro mu, wɔ afiri koro so.
