Description

This document addresses the interest of coupling CT scan, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and PET, which produces hybrid imagery. It presents the justification principle applied to this examination as to any other diagnosis imaging examination. It also discusses the optimisation principle applied to these techniques, and then the relativization principle within the framework of the benefit/risk balance. It finally outlines the necessity of initial and continuous training
