Preoperative nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer using 99mTc-sestamibi spect/ct imaging [PDF]

Clinics, 2011
OBJECTIVES: The proper nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer is important for choosing the best treatment modality. Although computed tomography remains the first-line imaging test for the primary staging of lung cancer, its limitations for ...

Role of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography in Epilepsy [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Imaging, 2011
Molecular imaging with ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an established functional imaging modality for the presurgical evaluation of patients with refractory partial onset seizures. SPECT coregistered on to the MRI has greater sensitivity to identify the ictal onset zone.

Optimising shadow tomography with generalised measurements [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 220502 (2022), 2022
Advances in quantum technology require scalable techniques to efficiently extract information from a quantum system, such as expectation values of observables or its entropy. Traditional tomography is limited to a handful of qubits and shadow tomography has been suggested as a scalable replacement for larger systems. Shadow tomography is conventionally

Incremental prognostic value of myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography for the prediction of cardiac death: differential stratification for risk of cardiac death and myocardial infarction.

Circulation, 1998
BACKGROUND The incremental prognostic value of stress single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the prediction of cardiac death as an individual end point and the implications for risk stratification are undefined.
