The difference is in the type of radiation used to form the image. A Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scan can use any type of radiation to create the image, the specific type is not specified in the name, but most often uses X-rays; but a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan specifically uses positrons as the radiation form. A third type, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses the miniscule magnetic fields of naturally occurring compounds within the human body to create its images.
CAT or CT scanning can be any of a number of different scan technologies, as CAT stands for Computed Axial Tomography and says nothing about the beams used. In common use, however, CT and CAT scans typically use X-rays, and those that use more exotic techniques are named by the technique they use (PET and NMR scans, for instance).
A full body PET scan can take 30 to 45 minutes. A scan of a single lamp or a single organ can take as little as 10 minutes.
He'll yes.
No you cannot smoke before a PET scan because it will alter the results and it will be detecting in you system which may cause problems with the scanning process.
A PET scan can have a negative effect on a kidney. If dye is used, this can cause a problem for some people. It is also good for detecting illness, though.
cat scan
A wildcat is something that is not a pet aka lions or tigers. A cat is usually a pet cat not something that lives in an alley.
The difference between pet type and breed is that pet type refers to the general category of animal, such as dog or cat, while breed refers to a specific group within that category with distinct characteristics, such as a Labrador Retriever or Siamese cat.
No, you cannot scan a cat microchip with your phone to identify the pet's information. A special microchip scanner is needed to read the information stored on the microchip.
A pet is a animal that humans have. A wild animal is a animal that lives outdoors. A bear is a wild animal. A cat is a pet.
CT/CAT scan, electroencephalogram (EEG), MRI and PET scan
It was estimated that to do an MRI for my cat would cost approximately $1800.
generally between 2 and 5k.
a cat has claws at the end of it's paws, but a sentence has a pause at the end of its clause (:
a dog
the difference between a micro pet and a normal pet is that a micro pet is a really small animal such as a micro pig and a normal animal is a animal just like a normal person normal size normal wight and that is the difference between a normal animal and a micro animal.
Yes, there are apps available that can scan pet microchips. These apps use the smartphone's camera to scan the microchip and provide information about the pet.
