In radiology and nuclear medicine, single - photon emission therapy (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning is now a standard practice.

<h3>What distinguishes a CT scan from a PET scan?</h3>

The internal organs and tissues of your body are depicted in great detail by a CT scan. A Pet / ct can be more accurate than some other imaging procedures and can detect aberrant activity. Additionally, it can cause your body to alter sooner. PET-CT scans are used by doctors to reveal more details about the cancer.

<h3>What distinguishes an MRI from a PET scan?</h3>

Radio waves and magnets are both used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Both generate static photos of the body's organs and skeletal system. Using a radioactive tracer, PET scans can demonstrate how an organ is working in real time. CT and MRI scans cannot identify cellular responses in tissues and organs as early as PET scan images can.

A non-rebreather mask is used in spontaneously breathing clients. Providing an endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation is beneficial in clients with significantly impaired consciousness. A client who needs ventilatory assistance during resuscitation requires a BVM ventilation with an appropriate airway adjunct and a 100 percent oxygen source.
