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 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 ...

Emission computed tomography

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1977
Although there are many common aspects to x-ray transmission and radionuclide emission computerized tomography, (ECT) there are added difficulties and a number of particular factors that form the basis of ECT. At this time, the instrumentation design and application strategies in ECT are diverse and in a stage of rapid development.

Emission Computed Tomography Simulator

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1980
We have designed and built a system to simulate emission computed tomography (ECT) devices and measure physical parameters of the component parts in such systems. It consists of a heavy duty X, Y, Z, ? scanning table under computer control through CAMAC with modular NIM electronics for signal processing.

Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography in Endocrinology

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2006
The 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 ...

Electrocardiographic Gating in Positron Emission Computed Tomography

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1979
Electrocardiographic (ECG) synchronized multiple gated data acquisition was employed with positron emission computed tomography (ECT) to obtain images of myocardial blood pool and myocardium. The feasibility and requirements of multiple gated data acquisition in positron ECT were investigated for 13NH3, (18F)-2-fluoro-2-D-deoxyglucose, and (11C ...

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 ...

Hepatic Hemangioma Diagnosis by Emission Computed Tomography

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1986
Hepatic hemangiomas in an asymptomatic patient usually require no treatment. Therefore, noninvasive diagnosis of this entity is critical to avoid an unnecessary diagnostic laparotomy and/or closed biopsy, the latter potentially leading to massive or fatal hemorrhage.
