I’ve heard that lung fusion is new diagnostic test for lung cancer. The fact is that one year ago I had lung cancer resection and recently I’ve heard of lung fusion and now I’d like to hear some info about lung fusion for I’d like to take some extra cares in sense of better diagnosis because I worry that my lung cancer might reoccur.

That’s right Lung fusion is new imaging test which goal is to find cancer cells in the body in their early stages. In fact its performance is based on two technologies CT and PET and in fact lung fusion is called CT/PET fusion imaging. The lung fusion is about “fused” results of these technologies in diagnosing lung cancer meaning that these results are brought together in order to provide more effective info in diagnosing some types of lung cancer. Anyway CT is computed tomography that provides cross-sectional body images by using computer while PET is positive emission tomography meaning that PAT scan is used to inject some kind of a medicine that runs through the body in order to detect cancer cells. So when results of these two technologies are fused it is possible to get more concrete info about lung cancer.
