Resumen:
Elementary Particle Physics is an area of physics committed to understanding nature
and the universe at the subatomic level. With the evolution of technology, it was possible
to apply it to the area of nuclear medicine, including medical techniques, especially
positron emission tomography (PET). The present work aims to explore how advances
in this area of physics have contributed to the development of technologies used in
medical practice, especially in diagnostic imaging involving computed tomography (CT)
and positron emission tomography (PET), in the specific case of Iung adenocarcinoma
(non-small cell Iung cancer (NSGLC)). Based on the analysis of the documents used,
the PET/CT unit enables a better staging and diagnosis, allowing a more refined and
personalized approach to the treatment of neoplastic conditions.
