Application of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) parameters for bone scintigraphy

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) of the Skull in Necrotizing Otitis Externa: Comparison with Planar Bone Scintigraphy, SPECT and CT

Necrotizing otitis externa (NOE), also called malignant otitis externa, corresponds to osteomyelitis of the skull base [1]. NOE occurs primarily in diabetic elderly patients with a male preponderance [2]. Typically due to pseudomonas aeruginosa, NOE begins as a soft tissue infection of the external auditory canal (EAC) and spreads via the fissures of Santorini and the tympanomastoid suture to i...

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and intractable epilepsy.

TAPANI TIKKAKOSKI Editor In patients with intractable epilepsy refractory to medication, surgical treatment may be needed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential neuroimaging tool in assisting the identifi cation of epileptogenic lesions. MRI at 3T has been found to perform better than 1.5T in terms of image quality, detection of structural lesions, and characterization of lesions. Th...

Assessment of OSEM & FBP Reconstruction Techniques in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Using SPECT Phantom as Applied on Bone Scintigraphy

Filtered back projection (FBP) method and maximum likelihood expection maximization (OSEM) method are currently used for reconstruction of SPECT images in clinical studies. The aim of this work is to compare the image quality using different reconstruction techniques of a SPECT phantom as applied to bone scintigraphy. The resolution and contrast of the hot spheres were observed using a phantom ...
