Wetin na PET skan?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wan ``PET Scan'' na shɔt fɔ wan Positron Emission Tomography skan . Dis na spɛshal tɛst we dɛn kin yuz fɔ si aw di ɔgan ɛn tisu dɛn we de insay wi bɔdi de wok. Tink bɔt am lɛk fɔ tek "wok pikchɔ" fɔ di tin dɛn we de insay wi bɔdi.

Fɔ dis tɛst, wi kin yuz wan rili sef, smɔl smɔl redioaktiv kemikal . Wi de kɔl dis `(Radiotracer)`. afta dεn injεkt dis insay di bכdi, dεn de tek pikchכ dεm we dεn de yuz spεshal kεmεra, we na `(PET Scanner)`. di spεshal tin fכ dis `(Radiotracer)` na dat if sεl dεm de na wi bכdi we gεt sכm sik, dεn sεl dεm de abzכp dis `(Radiotracer)` mכr. Jɔs lɛk aw pɔsin we angri kin it mɔ we i si it. So, di skan kin fɛn di eria dɛn usay dis `(Radiotracer)` dɔn absɔb mɔ. Na dat de ɛp wi dɔktɔ dɛn fɔ no if ɛni wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm de.

Bɔku tɛm, dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz dis ``(PET Scan)`` fɔ no bɔt kansa ɛn si aw di tritmɛnt fɔ kansa kin wok fayn. Nɔto dat nɔmɔ, i kin rili ɛp bak fɔ no sɔm at sik dɛn ɛn prɔblɛm dɛn we gɛt fɔ du wit bren.

Wetin na di difrɛns bitwin PET skan, CT skan, ɛn MRI?

Yu kin dɔn yɛri bɔt `(CT scan)` ɔ `(MRI)` skan. Naw lɛ wi si aw dɛn tin ya difrɛn frɔm wan `(PET Scan).`

• (CT Scan): Dis kin yuz ɛkstrem rayt.
• (MRI Scan): Dis kin yuz magnet ɛn redio wev.

CT skan ɛn MRI ɔl tu de gi wi stil pikchɔ dɛn bɔt di ɔgan dɛn ɛn di tin dɛn we de insay wi bɔdi. Dat min se, wi de si aw dɛn tan da tɛm de nɔmɔ.

Bɔt, PET skan kin difrɛn smɔl. Bikɔs i de yuz di redio traysa we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt, wan PET skan de sho wi aw wi ɔgan dɛn de wok insay rial tɛm .

Sɔntɛnde yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du ``PET Scan'' ɛn ``CT Scan'' di sem tɛm. dis dεn kכl am ``PET-CT'' skan. We dɛn jɔyn dɛn tu tin ya, wi kin gɛt tri-dimɛnshɔnal (3D) pikchɔ dɛn. Dis kin mek wi ebul fɔ no di sik kɔrɛkt wan.

Sɔm ɔspitul dɛn de yuz nyu teknɔlɔji naw we dɛn kɔl ``(PET/MRI)`` skan. Dis kin tek rili klia, ay kwaliti pikchɔ dɛn. Dɛn kin yuz am mɔ fɔ no ɛn wach sɔft tisu kansa dɛn lɛk di wan dɛn we de na di bren, ed ɛn nɛk, liva, ɛn di bɔdi.
