<br/><br/> Co - registration of PET scans ( functional information ) with CT scans ( anatomic information ) using a combined PET / CT scanner improves the overall sensitivity and specificity of information provided by PET or CT alone . The unique advantage of PET / CT fusion imaging is the ability to correlate findings at two complementary imaging modalities in a comprehensive examination within an acceptable scan time for patients having vertebral disease
