Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is a medical imaging technique used to create detailed three-dimensional images of the body. It is used to diagnose and monitor a range of diseases, including heart conditions, cancer, and neurological disorders. SPECT works by using a radioactive tracer to measure biochemical changes in the body, and then processing the data to create detailed images. The images allow doctors to accurately identify and diagnose medical conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of patient treatment. SPECT has the potential to reduce radiation exposure and improve patient outcomes.
