Here’s the quote from the website:

The purpose of the Intelligent Multi-modal Volume Angio Computed Tomography (IM-VAC) Program is to create a digital imaging system that is capable of performing a total body scan of a person using the multiple scanning techniques of computed tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Single Positron Emission Tomography (SPECT) on a single detector. Such a capability will be able to produce a single image that represents both anatomic (CT scan) and functional (PET and SPECT scans) information about the person in an image that will be automatically registered (data fusion) from the single detector plate. This capability will provide revolutionary new insight into the functioning of the human body as well as provide patient-specific (and soldier-specific) information in treating injury or disease. The first critical tasks of this effort are to develop the multi-modal detector capable of acquiring all three modalities and integrating the detector into a rapid scanning system to provide images in less than a minute.

I love nothing more than science fiction becoming science reality:

It’s only a matter of time…

Hopefully the real thing will have a “try me” button too.
