DiaCheck is not a new method, but a concept for the rational combination and concentration of well-established methods of examination.
Procedures
Positron emission tomography (PET) with labelled sugar molecules is used as a whole body screen for the early detection or exclusion of the presence of malignant growths (tumour PET)
Spiral computer tomography (SCT) provides accurate cross-sectional images of the abdomen and chest.
Magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is an anatomically oriented reference method used for the head and neck.
Advantages of the DiaCheck Concept
If these examinations are carried out with the minimum of delay in one location, then it is possible to combine them electronically (image fusion) and to evaluate them immediately.
