Single-photon emission computed tomography in neurotherapeutics [PDF]
NeuroRX, 2005 The measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a powerful clinical and research tool. There are several clinical applications now documented, a substantial number under active investigation, and a larger number yet to be studied.
