Single photon-emission computed tomography

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2010
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses single photon emission computed tomography. The development of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) put a powerful physiologic imaging technology in the hands of physicians and researchers. SPECT is neither as expensive nor as complex as positron emission tomography (PET) and can be used for many

SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1995
Single-photon emission computed tomography is a well established functional imaging technique in epilepsy that aids precise noninvasive localization of the seizure focus required for surgical intervention in refractory seizures. Electroencephalography with video monitoring of seizures precedes more invasive evaluation, such as cortical or depth ...

Single photon emission computed tomography

Computerized Radiology, 1985
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is becoming an increasingly important part of routine clinical nuclear medicine. By providing tomographic reconstructions in multiple planes through the patient, SPECT expands the clinical applications in nuclear medicine as well as providing better contrast, edge definition and separation of target ...

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Tracer

2020
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is the state-of-the-art imaging modality in nuclear medicine despite the fact that only a few new SPECT tracers have become available in the past 20 years. Critical for the future success of SPECT is the design of new and specific tracers for the detection, localization, and staging of a disease and ...

Single photon emission computed tomography in epilepsy

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1990
Functional brain imaging by either single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET) is now a well-established technique in the diagnosis and evaluation of the epilepsies. Perhaps only in stroke have these emerging technologies proven of greater significance. Scalp, cortical, or depth electroencephalographic (EEG)

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography of the Thyroid*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1988
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) entails imaging at multiple positions along an arc and computed-assisted reconstruction of transaxial, coronal, and sagittal images. To determine if SPECT imaging of the thyroid augments information provided by planar imaging, both SPECT and pinhole planar scans were performed in 52 patients with ...

SPECT: SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1980
Interest in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been renewed as a result of the successful application of transmission (x-ray) CT to diagnostic radiology. Many aspects of SPECT are different from those encountered in transmission CT, and often are more difficult to overcome.
