Abstract
Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET/CT) framework is a cutting-edge imaging tool in nuclear medicine. The essential objective of PET/CT imaging is to create profoundly exact combination images with a good enrolment of both CT and PET images on the same platform. Such major specialized equipment requires careful structural designs, and planning considerations of the functional components to facilitate the traffic of patients, staff, and radioactive materials.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) has been effectively used to detect cancer
A cross-sectional survey was conducted to a patient sample of 88 participants, (52 males and 36 females), with mean age (48.69 ± 7.31) years, who were scheduled for a Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET/CT) examination at Baghdad center and asked to participate in this survey after completion of their examination in order to explore their attitude about experience of the assessment

Summary
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) has been effectively used to detect cancer. With the accuracy of the imaging result, this technology is becoming the most useful forms of diagnostic imaging. Instead of the quality of PET scan for imaging, the effectiveness of PET scan can be improved if it combined with CT Tomography) scan to perform a PET/CT scan. The progress of this technology has been spread over throughout the world. The use of the cyclotron to obtain the radioactive substance (18Ffluorodeoxyglucose) for PET scan has been improved linearly with the progress of PET scan improvement. The main problem of PET and CT combinations into a PET/CT scan is that this device is costly.
