| positron emission tomography | term type: full form part of speech: noun number: singular definition: examination through scan that can pinpoint changes in metabolic activity indicative of certain abnormalities. This procedure does not use X rays but measures emissions from radioactive isotope injected into the blood. The nuclear equipment used for the scan produces pictures of the organs in slices or planes. This procedure is primarily used to examine brain and heart function. (es) reliability code: 10 |

| tomografía por emisión de positrones | term type: main entry term part of speech: noun gender: feminine number: singular reliability code: 10 definition: técnica de diagnóstico por imagen funcional que se utiliza preferentemente con fines clínicos en Neurología, Cardiología y Oncología. El objetivo de esta técnica es estudiar la actividad metabólica y el flujo sanguíneo en diversos tejidos, a través de la radiación gamma producida por isótopos emisores de positrones gamma, que son emitidos desde un órgano o sistema. La radiación es reconstruida mediante un ordenador. (es) |
