Researchers in Japan are developing a medical camera that can simultaneously detect radioactive tracers used for PET and SPECT scans. The team has now demonstrated that the camera can image both ...

Introduction Not much is known about biologic reactions at ACL graft insertion sites. SPECT/CT is a hybrid imaging modality, which combines a 3D single photon emission computed tomography and a ...

For the evaluation of biological processes using radioisotopes, there are two competing technologies: single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). Both ...

Researchers have completed a successful clinical trial to detect and image radioactive tracers used in PET and in SPECT scans at the same time in a patient. It is hoped the method will enable doctors ...

Introduction SPECT/CT could be used to evaluate the in vivo loading pattern of the patellofemoral joint before and after realignment surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate, whether the ...

Left: primary/scatter window SPECT reconstructions, plus synthetic and CT-based attenuation maps. Right: SPECT reconstructed images corrected using CT-based attenuation maps, synthetic attenuation ...

Researchers have developed a new nuclear medicine tracer that could improve diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Research published in the November issue of The Journal of Nuclear ...

The emerging advantages of positron-emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis and assessment of cardiovascular event risk has prompted ...

A novel tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging, called flurpiridaz F-18, performed well in a second phase III trial when it came to the detection of CAD in patients ...
