Abstract
Hybrid imaging modalities, such as PET/CT and PET/MRI, are revolutionizing medical diagnostics by integrating anatomical and functional information. These techniques offer enhanced accuracy in oncology, neurology, and cardiovascular imaging, improving lesion detection, staging, and treatment monitoring. Advances in radiotracers, reconstruction algorithms, and artificial intelligence are further refining their capabilities. While challenges related to patient throughput and standardization exist, the future promises deeper integration of molecular data and advanced imaging physics for more precise quantification and earlier disease detection.
