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

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

Diagnostic Accuracy of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography of the Head, Neck, and Chest for Giant Cell Arteritis: A Prospective, Double‐Blind, Cross‐Sectional Study

Arthritis & Rheumatology, 2019
Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has not been well studied as a first‐line test for giant cell arteritis (GCA), due, in part, to historical limitations in visualizing the cranial arteries.

Risk of metastatic disease on 68gallium‐prostate‐specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan for primary staging of 1253 men at the diagnosis of prostate cancer

BJU International, 2019
To determine the number of men with 68gallium‐prostate‐specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (68Ga‐PSMA PET/CT) avid metastasis at diagnosis, as most data on 68Ga‐PSMA PET/CT are for the evaluation of recurrent ...

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.

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 ...

Positron emission computed tomography

1985
Regional myocardial blood flow and substrate metabolism can be non-invasively evaluated and quantified with positron emission computed tomography (Positron-CT). Tracers of exogenous glucose utilization and fatty acid metabolism are available and have been extensively tested. Specific tracer kinetic models have been developed or are being tested so that
