Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
2016Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is the most widely used nuclear imaging technique in cardiology, playing an important role in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD), viability assessment, and risk stratification. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) improves the sensitivity and specificity over standard exercise stress testing ...

Single-photon emission computed tomography
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1983The subject of singl-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is generally reviewed. The basic interaction processes of gamma rays in matter are outlined, and the formation of conventional gamma-ray images is described. We then outline the extension of these concepts to the formation of three-dimensional or tomographic images.

The Diagnosis of Dementia With Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Archives of Neurology, 1987Single photon emission computed tomography is a practical modality for the study of physiologic cerebral activity in vivo. We utilized single photon emission computed tomography and N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine iodine 123 to evaluate regional cerebral blood flow in nine patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), five healthy elderly control subjects, and

Brain single‐photon emission computed tomography *
Neurology, 1994Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) provides cost-effective information on regional cerebral perfusion and, indirectly, on regional cerebral metabolism. Its ease of use facilitates the application of SPECT in clinical neurology. SPECT is emerging as a useful tool for the management of patients with stroke, epilepsy, recurrent brain ...

Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography in Endocrinology
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2006The introduction of fusion of functional and anatomical imaging modalities into the field of endocrinology led to a major breakthrough in diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of patients with endocrine tumors. The management of endocrine tumors is based on a wide variety of conventional techniques, including computed tomography, ultrasound, or magnetic ...

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Tracer
2012Single 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/Computed Tomography in Brain Tumors
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2007Anatomic imaging procedures (computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) have become essential tools for brain tumor assessment. Functional images (positron emission tomography [PET] and single-photon emission computed tomography [SPECT]) can provide additional information useful during the diagnostic workup to determine the degree ...

Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography in Abdominal Diseases
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2007Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies of the abdominal region are established in conventional nuclear medicine because of their easy and large availability, even in the most peripheral hospitals. It is well known that SPECT imaging demonstrates function, rather than anatomy.

Bone single photon emission computed tomography
Imaging, 2001Bone SPECT has improved the accuracy of bone scanning.The benefit arises from improvements in contrast and spatial localization.The lumbar spine is the site where the greatest benefit has been demonstrated.Other skeletal sites include knees, hips, base of skull and temporomandibular joints.
