ECT

The imaging method of ECT is very flexible, and it can perform planar imaging and tomographic imaging, static imaging and dynamic imaging, local imaging and whole body imaging. In addition, it can provide multiple functional parameters of the organs, such as time-radiation curves, etc., to provide multi-dimensional information for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. It is mainly used for the examination of tumors in thyroid cancer, bones and other parts, especially in the detection of bone metastatic tumors. It can detect lesions 3-6 months earlier than ordinary X-ray filming. Therefore, for some cancers that are more prone to bone metastasis. Such as breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, etc., even if there is no bone pain, you can do pre-operative or post-operative examinations in order to find metastases early. But it must be noted that bone inflammation, blood flow changes, fracture repair, joint degeneration, bone deformity and metabolic bone disease can also produce positive results, which should be identified.
