Ua noi ʻia anei ʻoe e hana i kahi scan PET? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia me nā kikoʻī!

Aloha! Ke haʻi aku ke kauka iā ʻoe e pili ana i kahi `(PET Scan)`, ua manaʻo paha ʻoe i kahi hoihoi iki, a i ʻole he makaʻu iki paha, ʻeā? He mea maʻamau loa ia. No ka mea, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha ke manaʻo pēlā ke aʻo ʻoe e pili ana i kahi mea hou. No laila i kēia lā e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ke ʻano o kēia `(PET Scan)`, kāna hana, pehea e hoʻomākaukau ai no ia mea, a me nā mea āpau e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike ma ke ʻano maʻalahi loa, e like me ke kamaʻilio ʻana me kahi hoaaloha. A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi ʻike maikaʻi aʻe o kēia.

He aha ka nānā ʻana o ka PET?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka "PET Scan" he pōkole ia no ka Positron Emission Tomography scan . He hoʻāʻo kūikawā kēia i hoʻohana ʻia e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o nā ʻōpū a me nā ʻiʻo i loko o ko kākou kino. E noʻonoʻo e like me ke kiʻi ʻana i kahi "kiʻi hana" o nā mea i loko o ko kākou kino.

No kēia hoʻāʻo, hoʻohana mākou i kahi kemika radioactive palekana loa, liʻiliʻi ka nui . Kāhea mākou i kēia ʻo `(Radiotracer)`. Ma hope o ke komo ʻana o kēia i loko o ke kino, lawe ʻia nā kiʻi me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kāmela kūikawā, ʻo ia hoʻi ka `(PET Scanner)`. ʻO ka mea kūikawā o kēia `(Radiotracer)` ʻo ia inā he mau cell i loko o ko mākou kino i loaʻa i kekahi maʻi, e omo hou aku kēlā mau cell i kēia `(Radiotracer)`. E like me ka mea pōloli e ʻai hou aku ana i ka wā e ʻike ai lākou i ka meaʻai. No laila, hiki i ka scanner ke ʻike i nā wahi i omo hou aku ai kēia `(Radiotracer)`. ʻO ia ka mea e kōkua ai i kā mākou mau kauka e ʻike inā he pilikia olakino.

Hoʻohana pinepine nā kauka i kēia "(PET Scan)" no ka ʻike ʻana i ke kanesa a me ka maikaʻi o nā lāʻau lapaʻau kanesa. ʻAʻole wale ia, he mea kōkua nui nō hoʻi ia i ka ʻike ʻana i kekahi mau maʻi puʻuwai a me nā pilikia e pili ana i ka lolo.

He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka scan PET, ka scan CT, a me ka MRI?

Ua lohe paha ʻoe i kahi scan `(CT scan)` a i ʻole `(MRI)`. I kēia manawa, e nānā kākou pehea e ʻokoʻa ai kēia mau mea mai kahi `(PET Scan).`

• (CT Scan): Hoʻohana kēia i nā kukuna X.
• (MRI Scan): Hoʻohana kēia i nā magnet a me nā nalu lekiō.

Hāʻawi nā CT scans a me MRI iā mākou i nā kiʻi paʻa o nā ʻōpū a me nā ʻano i loko o ko mākou kino. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻike wale mākou i ko lākou ʻano i kēlā manawa.

Eia nō naʻe, he ʻokoʻa iki ka PET scan. Ma muli o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka radiotracer a mākou i kamaʻilio ai ma mua, hōʻike ka PET scan iā mākou pehea e hana ai ko mākou mau kino i ka manawa maoli . ʻO ia hoʻi, ua like ia me ka nānā ʻana iā lākou e ola ana. ʻO kekahi mea nui, hiki i ka PET scan ke ʻike i nā loli i loko o ko mākou mau kino a me nā ʻiʻo ma ka pae cellular i ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o nā CT a me MRI scan ʻē aʻe.

I kekahi manawa, e paipai paha kāu kauka i kahi "PET Scan" a me kahi "CT Scan" i ka manawa like. Ua kapa ʻia kēia he "PET-CT scan". Ke hui pū ʻia kēia mau mea ʻelua, loaʻa iā mākou nā kiʻi ʻekolu-dimensional (3D). Hiki i kēia iā mākou ke hana i kahi hōʻoia pololei.

Ke hoʻohana nei kekahi mau haukapila i kahi ʻenehana hou i kapa ʻia he scan ``(PET/MRI)``. Hiki i kēia ke kiʻi i nā kiʻi maopopo loa a kiʻekiʻe hoʻi. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia no ka ʻike ʻana a me ka nānā ʻana i nā maʻi ʻaʻai palupalu e like me nā mea o ka lolo, ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī, ke akepaʻa, a me ke pelvis.

He aha ke ʻano o ka nānā ʻana o ka PET scan?

Hiki i kāu kauka ke kauoha i kahi scan PET e nānā i kou kino no kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona:

• Kanesa: ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona e like me ke kanesa o ka umauma, ke kanesa o ka māmā, a me ke kanesa o ka thyroid.
• Maʻi puʻuwai: Maʻi ʻaʻai coronary, hōʻeha puʻuwai, a i ʻole nā ​​​​maʻi puʻuwai ʻē aʻe.
• Nā maʻi lolo: Nā kūlana e like me nā puʻupuʻu lolo, epilepsy, dementia, a me ka maʻi Alzheimer.

Āhea ka manawa e pono ai iaʻu kahi scan PET?

Ma keʻano laulā, hiki i kahi scan PET ke ana i nā hana koʻikoʻi i loko o ko mākou kino, e like me ke kahe ʻana o ke koko, ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka oxygen, a me ka metabolism o ke kō koko (glucose) . Hiki iā ia ke kōkua i ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻōkana a me nā ʻiʻo e hana pono ʻole ana.

I ke ʻano o ka maʻi kanesa:

Inā kānalua kāu kauka he maʻi kanesa kou, e paipai paha lākou i kahi scan PET, no ka mea hiki i kēia ke kōkua i ka ʻike a me ka nānā ʻana i ke kanesa.

Inā ua ʻike mua ʻia ʻoe he maʻi kanesa, hiki i kāu kauka ke kauoha aku i ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi scan PET i kou wā e mālama ʻia ai. Aia kekahi mau kumu no kēia:

• E nānā inā ua pālahalaha ke kanesa i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ke kino (metastasized) .
• E loiloi i ka holomua o ka lāʻau lapaʻau o kēia manawa .
• E nānā e ʻike inā ua "hoʻi hou" ke kanesa ma hope o ka mālama ʻana.
• E loiloi i ka wānana o ka maʻi ʻaʻai.

I ka hihia o ka maʻi puʻuwai:

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā pilikia puʻuwai, hiki i kāu kauka ke kuhikuhi i kahi scan PET e nānā i nā mea e like me:

• E nānā e ʻike inā ua hoʻopilikia ʻia kekahi mau ʻāpana o kou puʻuwai e ka hāʻule puʻuwai.
• E ʻike i nā ʻāpana o ka ʻiʻo puʻuwai e hiki ke pōmaikaʻi mai ka angioplasty a i ʻole ke ʻoki ʻana i ke aʻa coronary artery bypass .

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hōʻailona o ka ʻōnaehana nerve:

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hōʻailona neurological, hiki i kāu kauka ke ʻōlelo aku i kahi scan PET e nānā i nā mea ʻino o ka lolo, e like me nā tumors, epilepsy, a me nā kūlana ʻē aʻe o ka ʻōnaehana nerve waena.

Pehea e hana ai ka scan PET?

ʻO ka PET scan kahi ʻano hoʻāʻo i kapa ʻia ʻo nuclear medicine imaging . Pili ka lāʻau lapaʻau nuclear i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi liʻiliʻi a palekana o nā mea radioactive, e like me nā radiotracers a mākou i kūkākūkā ai ma mua, ma o kahi inikini IV.

ʻO ka mea e ʻokoʻa ai nā scan PET mai nā ʻano hana kiʻi ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ke kālele nei lākou i nā kaʻina hana a me ka hana molekala e hana ʻia ana i loko o ko mākou kino . No laila, loaʻa iā lākou ka hiki ke ʻike i nā maʻi i ka wā mua loa.

E noʻonoʻo, inā he mau ʻāpana maʻi kou i loko o kou kino, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka omo ʻana o kēlā mau ʻāpana i ka `(Radiotracer)` ma mua o nā ʻāpana olakino. Kāhea mākou i kēia mau wahi o ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka omo ʻana he `(Hot Spots)` . ʻIke ka `(PET Scanner)` i kēia radioactivity a hana i nā kiʻi o nā ʻiʻo i hoʻopilikia ʻia. E like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai ma mua, ma kahi scan `(PET/CT)`, ua hui pū ʻia nā kiʻi X-ray i lawe ʻia mai ka `(CT scan)` a me nā kiʻi i lawe ʻia mai ka `(PET scan)` e hāʻawi i ka hopena hope loa.

Pehea e hoʻomākaukau ai no kahi scan PET?

He hana ma waho ka PET scan. ʻO ia hoʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻi i ka home i ka lā hoʻokahi me ka scan. E hāʻawi kāu kauka iā ʻoe i nā ʻōlelo kikoʻī e pili ana i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no ka scan. Eia nō naʻe, pono ʻoe e makaʻala i kēia mau mea:

• He mea nui loa e hāʻawi i kāu kauka i kahi papa inoa pololei o nā lāʻau lapaʻau a pau, nā wikamina, nā mea hoʻohui, a me nā mea maʻi ʻaleka āu e lawe nei.
• Inā manaʻo ʻoe ua hāpai ʻoe, a inā he makuahine hānai ʻoe , e ʻōlelo pono i kāu kauka.
• Mai ʻai i kekahi mea no ʻeono hola ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana. Eia nō naʻe, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka maʻi diabetes , hiki i kāu kauka ke hoʻololi i kēia ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo. No laila e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i ia mea.
• Hiki iā ʻoe ke inu wai wale nō .
• Inā ʻoe e hana nei i kahi hoʻāʻo puʻuwai, e pale i ka inu ʻana i kekahi mea i loaʻa ka caffeine (e like me ke kī a i ʻole ke kofe) no 24 mau hola ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana.
• E ʻaʻahu i nā lole ʻoluʻolu . E waiho i nā mea hoʻonani metala, nā aniani, nā niho kuʻi, a me nā pine lauoho ma ka home.
• Inā ʻoluʻolu ʻole a hopohopo paha ʻoe i kou wā i loko o kahi paʻa , e haʻi i kāu kauka. Hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi mea hoʻomaha iki e kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻomaha i ka wā o ka hoʻokolohua.

He aha kāu e manaʻo ai i ka wā o ka PET scan?

Ke hana ʻia kahi scan PET, eia nā mea maʻamau e hana ʻia:

• ʻO ka mea mua, e hāʻawi ʻia ʻoe i kahi inikini IV o kahi tracer radioactive. Hoʻohana ʻia kahi nui palekana. ʻO ka radiotracer i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) .
• A laila pono ʻoe e noho ma kahi noho no hoʻokahi hola . I loko o kēia manawa, hele ka `(Radiotracer)` ma o kou koko a komo i loko o kou mau ʻōpū a me nā ʻiʻo. He mea nui loa e noho mālie a ʻaʻole e neʻe a puni i kēia manawa. No ka mea, inā ʻoe e neʻe nui, hiki i ka `(Radiotracer)` ke hele i nā ʻāpana o kou kino i nānā ʻole ʻia. ʻAʻole ʻoe e manaʻo i ka `(Radiotracer)` e komo ana i loko o kou kino.
• Inā ʻoe e hana ana i kahi scan PET/CT, hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe kahi inikini dye contrast . ʻO kēia ka mea e ʻoi aku ka maopopo o nā kiʻi CT scan.
• A laila e hoʻomoe ʻia ʻoe ma kahi papa hoʻokolokolo, a laila e lawe ʻia ʻoe i loko o ka PET/CT Scanner. Ua like ke ʻano o kēia scanner me kahi donut, me kahi lua ma waenakonu. He 30 ʻīniha ka laulā o kēia lua.
• Pono ʻoe e noho mālie i ka wā o ke scan (ʻo ia hoʻi ma kahi o 30 mau minuke ). ʻO ka neʻe ʻana paha ke kumu e palalulu ai nā kiʻi.
• E lohe paha ʻoe i ke kani ʻana a i ʻole ke kani ʻana o ka mea nānā i nā kiʻi. He mea maʻamau kēia.
• Ma mua o kou haʻalele ʻana, e nānā hou kekahi loea i nā kiʻi i hana ʻia a e hōʻoia i ka moakāka.

ʻEhia ka lōʻihi o ka hana ʻana o kahi scan PET?

Hiki i ke kaʻina hana holoʻokoʻa o ka scan PET ke hala ma kahi o ʻelua hola .

• Ma kahi o 60 mau minuke e omo ai kou kino i ka "(Radiotracer)". I loko o kēia manawa, pono ʻoe e noho mālie a ʻaʻole e neʻe.
• ʻO ka "(PET Scan)" maoli e lawe ana ma kahi o 30 mau minuke .
• A laila, pono ʻoe e kali i kekahi manawa a nānā ke loea i nā kiʻi a hōʻoia i ka maopopo.

Aia kekahi mau pilikia a i ʻole nā ​​hopena ʻaoʻao i kēia?

Ma ke ʻano laulā, he hoʻāʻo palekana loa ka PET scan, a he kakaikahi nā pilikia. Haʻahaʻa loa ka radioactivity i loko o ka radiotracer. ʻAʻole ia e noho lōʻihi i loko o kou kino. Pono ʻoe e inu i ka wai he nui ma hope o ka PET scan. E kōkua kēia i ka hoʻopau koke ʻana i ka radioactive tracer mai kou kino.

Hiki i kahi scan PET ke hoʻoweliweli i kēia mau hihia kūikawā:

• Inā hāpai ʻoe a hānai waiū paha, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hana i kahi scan PET . ʻO kēia no ka mea hiki i ka radiation ke hōʻeha i ka pēpē i loko o ka ʻōpū a hiki ke hele i ka pēpē ma o ka waiū umauma.
• Loaʻa i kekahi poʻe kahi hopena alerika i ka radiotracer i loko o kahi scan PET a i ʻole ka dye contrast i loko o kahi scan CT.Hiki ke hana. Akā, he mea kakaikahi loa kēia ʻano hopena a he maʻalahi hoʻi. Inā hana ʻia, hiki i ka hui lapaʻau ke mālama koke iā lākou me ka lāʻau lapaʻau.
• ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe me ka maʻi diabetes ke omo pono i ke kō i loko o ka radiotracer. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻopilikia i nā hopena scan. E aʻo aku kāu kauka iā ʻoe pehea e hoʻololi ai i kāu meaʻai a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana.

Āhea e loaʻa ai iaʻu nā hopena o ka PET scan?

ʻO kahi radiologist, ka mea i hoʻomaʻamaʻa kūikawā ʻia e heluhelu i nā scan PET, e nānā i kāu mau scans, kākau i kahi hōʻike, a hoʻouna aku i kāu kauka. ʻO ka maʻamau, he 24 mau hola ka lōʻihi o kēia kaʻina hana.

He hoʻāʻo pono loa ka PET scan a palekana hoʻi e hoʻohana ai nā kauka e loiloi i ke kanesa, nā maʻi puʻuwai, a me nā maʻi lolo.

No laila, ʻo ka mea hope loa, nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai ...

Inā ua noi ʻia ʻoe e hana i kahi scan PET, mai hopohopo no ia mea. He hoʻāʻo palekana ia i ka hapa nui o nā hihia a hiki ke kōkua nui i ka ʻike ʻana i kahi maʻi.

Inā he mau nīnau a hopohopo paha kāu e pili ana i kēia hoʻāʻo, mai kānalua e nīnau i kāu kauka a kahu maʻi paha . Aia lākou ma laila e kōkua iā ʻoe a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ʻike āu e pono ai. E pane lākou i kāu mau nīnau a pau. No laila, e hoʻomaha a e hahai i nā ʻōlelo a kāu kauka.

ʻO ka PET Scan, ke kanesa, ka maʻi puʻuwai, ka maʻi lolo, ka radiological, nā hoʻokolohua scan, ka ʻike ʻana
