Customer satisfaction is a very important factor in the Korean medical system. However, the field of medical imaging is very difficult for the general public to understand. Therefore, in this study, as a way to solve the communication problem between the medical staff and the patient, the PET/CT image was reconstructed using the Volume Rendering technique to increase patient satisfaction. VRT was performed on 360 cancer patients who had undergone PET/CT examination. As a result of a satisfaction survey on 100 patients, all 100 patients showed that the VRT image was superior to the existing image. PET/CT is not a device that observes detailed anatomical shapes, such as CT or MRI, but an image that shows a strong signal of cancer and can easily produce a VRT image. These VRT images can be expressed three-dimensionally so that the general public can easily understand them, so communication between medical staff and patients can be improved more efficiently, and it is expected that the patient's "right to know" will be satisfied.
