Article Synopsis
  • - Hybrid imaging combines two or more imaging techniques to enhance image quality and information, particularly in cardiovascular applications.
  • - This imaging can involve either merging images from separate scanners or using advanced hybrid machines like PET/CT and PET/MR.
  • - The European associations aim to assess clinical scenarios that could benefit from this technology and suggest best practices for obtaining diagnostic images.
