SPECT/CT imaging: clinical utility of an emerging technology.
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been a mainstay of nuclear medicine practice for several decades. More recently, combining the functional imaging available with SPECT and the anatomic imaging of computed tomography (CT) has gained more acceptance and proved useful in many clinical situations. Most vendors now offer integrated SPECT/CT systems that can perform both functio...
متن کاملHybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT Imaging
1.1 Definition of nuclear medicine, molecular imaging and hybrid imaging Nuclear Medicine uses radioactive probes commonly referred to as tracers for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Monitoring the metabolic fate of nanomolar amounts of radiolabeled substances by tracking their photon emission with SPECT (Single Photon Emission Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) was the ...
متن کاملRadionuclide SPECT/CT in oncology
Radionuclide imaging employs radiolabelled tracers in the investigation of suspected cancer, subsequent staging, response assessment and the assessment of recurrence. Highly specific tracers, that target cellular receptors and metabolic pathways, are used in investigating patients with known or suspected cancers. Radionuclide imaging techniques have superior sensitivity compared to anatomic tec...
متن کاملSPECT/CT for secondary hyperparathyroidism
Objectives: To explore the diagnostic value of 99mTc-Sestamibi multiple-phase static planar imaging and SPECT/CT in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 40 cases of clinically diagnosed secondary hyperparathyroidism with multiple-phase static planar imaging, 15 min SPECT/CT fusion imaging, and ultrasonography. All cases were confirmed by pathological exam...
متن کاملSPECT/CT imaging of bone
The skeleton is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodelling throughout life. Normal healthy bones are dynamic structures with inherent basal levels of turnover sustained by balanced osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity. Increased bone turnover (ie osteoblastic activity) is the central mechanism of attempts at bone healing in case of any insult, whether it is benign or m...
