He aha ka PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography)? E aʻo maʻalahi kākou e pili ana i ia mea!

Ua aʻo aku paha kāu kauka iā ʻoe e hana i kahi scan PET. Makaʻu iki kekahi poʻe i ka huaʻōlelo 'scan' ke ʻōlelo lākou i kēlā. Akā, ʻaʻohe mea e makaʻu ai. He ʻenehana holomua loa kēia e kōkua iā mākou e ʻike pono i nā mea e hana nei i loko o ko mākou kino a pehea e holomua ai nā maʻi. E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ke ʻano o ia mea, pehea e hana ʻia ai, a inā paha e makaʻu kākou iā ia.

He aha ka hana maoli a kahi scan PET?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he hoʻāʻo kūikawā ka PET scan e nānā ana i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o nā ʻōpū a me nā ʻiʻo o ko kākou kino. He ʻokoʻa ia mai ka X-ray, CT a i ʻole MRI scan, no ka mea, hōʻike wale nā ​​​​scan ʻē aʻe i nā kiʻi o loko o ke kino. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i ka PET scan ke ʻike i ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana o kā mākou mau cell. Ma mua o ka hana ʻana i kēia hoʻāʻo, e hoʻokomo ke kauka i kahi mea radioactive (i kapa ʻia he `radiotracer` a i ʻole `tracer`) i loko o kou kino. Ua like kēia me kahi lāʻau lapaʻau kūikawā. Mai makaʻu, ʻaʻole ia e hōʻeha i ke kino. A laila hiki i ka mīkini PET scan ke ʻike i ke ʻano o ka neʻe ʻana o kēia mea a puni ke kino a me kahi e hōʻiliʻili ai. Inā hōʻiliʻili kēia mea ma kahi kikoʻī, hiki ke lilo i hōʻailona o kahi maʻi. E noʻonoʻo i kēia mīkini PET scan e like me kahi donut nui. Neʻe kahi moena ma waenakonu. Hoʻouna ʻia ʻoe no ka scan ʻoiai e moe ana ma luna o ka moena. ʻAʻole i pani piha ʻia kēia mīkini e like me ka mīkini MRI, no laila ʻaʻole manaʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe ua paʻa.

He aha nā hoʻohana o ka PET scan?

Hoʻohana nui nā kauka i ka PET scan no ka ʻike ʻana i nā maʻi, hoʻomākaukau no ke ʻoki kino, a ʻike i ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana o nā lāʻau lapaʻau. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ia no ke kanesa, ka maʻi puʻuwai, a me nā maʻi lolo.

No ke Kanesa

Pono nā ʻāpana o ko kākou kino i ka ikehu e hana ai. ʻO nā ʻāpana kanesa kahi ʻano ʻāpana e hoʻohana ana i ka ikehu hou aʻe ma mua o nā ʻāpana maʻamau. Hiki i kahi scan PET ke ʻike i kēia hoʻohana ikehu nui. A laila, ma ke kiʻi scan, nā wahi i ʻike ʻia ai nā ʻāpana kanesa ma ke ʻano he mau kiko ʻālohilohi . Hiki i kahi scan PET ke ʻike pinepine i ka maʻi kanesa ma mua o nā hoʻokolohua ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi,

• E nānā inā ua pālahalaha ke kanesa i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ke kino.
• E ʻike inā kūpono ka lāʻau lapaʻau o kēia manawa.
• E nānā e ʻike inā ua hoʻi mai ke kanesa ma hope o ka mālama ʻia ʻana.

No ka maʻi puʻuwai

Hiki i kahi scan PET ke hōʻike i ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana o kou puʻuwai. Ke hoʻokomo ʻia ka `tracer` i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna nei i loko o kou kino, hele ia i kou puʻuwai me kou koko. Hōʻike ka scan i ka nui o ke koko e hele ana i nā ʻāpana like ʻole o kou puʻuwai. Inā ʻaʻole lawa ke koko o kahi ʻāpana, hiki ke hōʻike i kahi pilikia, e like me ke aʻa puʻuwai i ālai ʻia. Hoʻohana ʻia hoʻi ia e nānā i ka pōʻino o ka puʻuwai ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka puʻuwai.

No nā kūlana lolo

Hiki i nā scan PET ke kōkua i ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻano maʻi like ʻole e pili ana i ka lolo. Eia kekahi laʻana:

• ka maʻi o Alzheimer
• ʻO ka maʻi o Parkinson
• ʻO ka maʻi o Huntington
• ʻEpilepsy (ʻEpilepsy)
• Nā hahau
• Nā puʻupuʻu lolo (nā puʻupuʻu)

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

Nui ka huikau ma waena o ka poʻe e pili ana i kēia mau ʻano scan ʻekolu. E hoʻomaopopo kākou i kēia ʻokoʻa me kahi papa. No kēia kumu, hoʻohana kekahi mau kauka i nā scan hybrid i kapa ʻia ʻo PET/CT a i ʻole PET/MRI. Hiki i kēia mau scan ke nānā i ke ʻano a me ka hana o ke kino i hoʻokahi scan, no laila ʻoi aku ka pololei o nā hopena.

Pehea ʻoe e hoʻomākaukau ai ma mua o ke scan?

Aia kekahi mau mea āu e pono ai e hoʻomākaukau ma mua o ka nānā ʻana i ka PET. He mea nui loa ka hahai pololei ʻana i kēia mau ʻanuʻu no nā hopena pololei.

ʻO ka mea mua, e haʻi i kāu kauka i kēia mau mea:

• Nā maʻi ʻaleka : E hōʻoia e haʻi mai iā mākou inā he maʻi ʻaleka kou , ʻoiai hoʻi i ka pena hoʻohālikelike, iodine , a i ʻole nā ​​​​meaʻai kai.
• Nā kūlana olakino ʻē aʻe: Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi e like me ka maʻi diabetes , e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo mai iā mākou.
• Nā lāʻau lapaʻau āu e lawe ai: E haʻi i kāu kauka e pili ana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau āpau, nā huaora, a me nā huahana lāʻau lapaʻau āu e lawe ai.

Inā he wahine ʻoe, e makaʻala loa ʻoe i kēia:

• Inā he makuahine hānai ʻoe: ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hānai i kāu pēpē a hiki i ka wā e hoʻomaʻemaʻe loa ʻia ai ka mea hōʻailona mai kou kino. No laila, pono ʻoe e hoʻopuka i kāu waiū a wehe iā ia. E kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e ʻike pono i ka lōʻihi o kou pale ʻana i ka hānai ʻana.
• Inā hāpai ʻoe a manaʻo paha ʻoe ua hāpai ʻoe: He mea nui loa kēia. Hiki i ka mea radioactive i hoʻohana ʻia i ke scan ke hōʻeha i ka pēpē. No laila e hoʻomaopopo i kāu kauka e pili ana i kēia a kamaʻilio e pili ana i ke koho maikaʻi loa.

Nā mea e hahai ai i ka lā ma mua o ke scan:

• Mai hoʻoikaika kino i loko o 24 mau hola ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana.
• Mai ʻai a inu paha i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka wai no kekahi mau hola ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana.
• E wehe i nā mea hoʻonani metala a pau mai kou kino aku, e like me nā apo pepeiao, nā lei, a me nā apo.

Pehea e hana ʻia ai kahi scan PET

ʻOiai aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa iki ma muli o kahi a me ke kumu e hana ʻia ai ke scan, penei ka maʻamau: 1. E noi ʻia ʻoe e ʻaʻahu i kahi lole haukapila. 2. E hāʻawi ʻia ʻoe i ka manawa kūpono e hele i ka lua ma mua o ke scan. 3. A laila e hoʻokomo ʻia kahi tracer i loko o kou kino. Hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia kēia ma ke ʻano he injection, ma ke ʻano he pila, a i ʻole he kinoea āu e hanu ai. 4. Pono ʻoe e kali i 30 a 60 mau minuke no ka hoʻopili piha ʻana o ka tracer i loko o kou kino. 5. A laila e moe ʻoe ma luna o ka moena o ka scanner. Mai neʻe a kamaʻilio paha i ka wā o ke scan.Pono ʻoe e noho mālie loa. Hiki i kēia ke hala ma kahi o 30-60 mau minuke. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i nā leo kani a me ke kaomi ʻana mai ka mīkini i ka wā e hana ʻia ai ke scan. He hoʻāʻo ʻeha ʻole kēia. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kekahi poʻe ke ʻeha i ko lākou kino inā noho lākou ma ke kūlana like no ka manawa lōʻihi.

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

He hoʻāʻo palekana loa ka PET scan, akā aia kekahi mau pilikia a me nā ʻoluʻolu ʻole e hiki ke hana.

• Hiki i ka poʻe me ka claustrophobia (makaʻu i nā wahi paʻa) ke paʻakikī ke noho i loko o ka mīkini. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kāu kauka ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau e hoʻomālielie iā ʻoe i kēlā mau manawa.
• Inā ʻaʻole i kaohi ʻia nā pae kō koko o ke kanaka me ka maʻi diabetes, hewa paha nā hopena o nā hoʻāʻo.
• Aia paha he ʻeha a ʻulaʻula paha kahi i hoʻopili ʻia ai ka tracer.
• He mea kākaʻikahi loa, hiki ke loaʻa nā hopena alerika i ka tracer, akā maʻamau he akahai lākou.
• Eia hou, ʻaʻole e hana ʻia kahi scan PET ma kahi makuahine hāpai a hānai waiū paha.

E ʻike kākou e pili ana i nā hopena.

Ke hoʻi mai nā hopena o ka PET scan, ʻike ʻia nā wahi o ka hana nui o nā cell ma ke ʻano he mau kiko ʻālohilohi. Hiki i kēia ke lilo i hōʻailona o ka maʻi. Eia nō naʻe, he mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole manaʻo mau ka hopena maikaʻi ma ka PET scan he maʻi kanesa. Hiki nō hoʻi ke lilo i maʻi, mumū, a i ʻole he puʻupuʻu ʻaʻole kanesa. Eia kekahi, inā ua hana ʻia ʻoe i ke ʻoki kino, chemotherapy, a i ʻole radiation, hiki i kēlā ke hoʻopilikia i nā hopena. No laila, mai hopohopo nui e kiʻi i kahi kiʻi piha o ke ʻano o nā hopena ke loaʻa iā ʻoe. E hoʻohālikelike kāu kauka i nā hopena me nā hōʻike hoʻāʻo ʻē aʻe, e kauoha i nā hoʻāʻo hou aku inā pono, a e wehewehe i nā mea āpau iā ʻoe.
