   The combination machine has yet to produce evidence that it adds anything substantial to conventional image with the individual modalities , said Dr. M. Donald Blaufox , chief of nuclear medicine at Albert Einstein School of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.
   
   Although it's nice to be able to look at a CT image and a PET image superimposed , no one has ever shown any improvement in diagnostic accuracy over putting up a CT image on a viewbox and then looking at the PET image , he said.If you superimpose the images , you get a little better anatomic localization , but the true clinical utility of that has yet to be proven.You're taking an expensive machine and making it very expensive..
   
   Blaufox argues that it makes no economic sense to take a machine that could easily do 15 reasonably high resolution CT studies a day and put it on a PET machine , which does five or six studies in a full day.
