Image Wisely.org now offers online educational materials for fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT) and nuclear medicine exams. Fluoroscopy is the latest addition to Image Wisely, which helps radiology providers optimize radiation dose and provide safe, effective imaging care.
Manufacturers have introduced hybrid imaging systems that combine positron emission tomography (PET) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purported benefit is improved detail in organ and soft-tissue images without the ionizing radiation inherent with systems that combine PET with computed tomography (CT), the gold-standard hybrid imaging modality.
