1. Different properties
1. PETCT: an imaging device that reflects the genetic, molecular, metabolic and functional status of the disease.
2. Thermal CT: a medical functional imaging technology developed from the transformation of foreign military infrared technology into medical application fields.
2. Different advantages
1. Advantages of PETCT:
(1) PET uses positron nuclides as tracers, which can be detected by uptake at the lesion site. Tracers to understand the functional and metabolic status of lesions. It can display the pathophysiological characteristics of the whole body from a macro perspective, such as organ function, metabolism, etc. It is easier to find lesions.
(2) CT can accurately locate lesions and display subtle structural changes in lesions; PET/CT fusion images can comprehensively detect lesions, accurately locate and judge benign and malignant lesions, and can detect early, quickly, accurately and comprehensively lesions.
(3) PET is like a navigation beacon in the sea, and CT is like a navigation chart, so that the target can be found accurately and quickly.
2. Advantages of thermal CT:
(1) Sensitivity: Because thermal chromatography locks in changes in cell metabolism throughout the body, it makes early and early detection of cancer possible.
(2) Unique: Thermal chromatography is an excellent supplement to the current lack of evaluation methods in clinical medicine in terms of sub-health/sub-clinical status, the overall internal environment of the human body, and early detection of serious diseases.
(3) Comprehensive: It is difficult to obtain comprehensive information about a person in one examination with traditional clinical diagnostic technology. Thermal tomography can instantly obtain whole-body information, including circulatory, respiratory, digestive, reproductive and other systems; ranging from tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, to local inflammation or pain.
(4) Safety: During the thermal chromatography detection process, the thermal radiation generated by human cell metabolism is passively received, so that the human body is absolutely safe for detection without radiation, intervention, contact and damage. .
(5) Power: Using the safety and simplicity of thermal chromatography detection, changes in health status, the effects of health care methods, or the development of the disease course can be reviewed and evaluated dynamically and indefinitely at any time.
Extended information:
Thermal CT is different from ordinary infrared thermal scanning technology, which can only obtain the heat distribution pattern on the surface of the human body. The energy information inside the human body overlaps with the energy information on the surface of the human body. It is difficult for clinicians to analyze and identify health information in the human body.
Thermal CT imaging uses thermoelectric analogy to find out the relationship between the heat distribution on the surface of the human body and the depth of the heat source, thereby obtaining information such as the depth, radiation value, shape and change of the heat source inside the human body, and analyzing the human body. evaluate the health status of the patient. According to the corresponding relationship between the metabolic intensity of human cells and diseases. Simply put, ordinary infrared technology is to thermal tomography what ordinary x-rays are to CT.
