Planar fusion: A PICTORIAL REVIEW.

Abstract

Image fusion of SPECT and PET data with CT and MRI has been shown to improve diagnostic accuracy in a variety of clinical circumstances. While the use of SPECT/CT and PET/CT image fusion has been well documented in the literature, there has been limited documentation of the role of planar image fusion. This brief pictorial review provides case examples where planar fusion between bone scintigraphy and xray has been useful.
