How Do Hybrid Imaging Systems Enhance Cancer Treatment?
Hybrid imaging systems play a critical role in cancer treatment in several ways:
- Accurate Staging: They provide detailed information about the tumor's size, location, and spread, which is essential for staging cancer accurately. - Treatment Planning: By giving a comprehensive view of the tumor, these systems help in planning precise surgical interventions and radiation therapy. - Monitoring Response: Hybrid imaging can track metabolic changes in the tumor, allowing clinicians to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and make necessary adjustments.
