Single photon emission computed tomography and albumin colloid imaging of the liver
Description
A single photon emission computed tomography (ECT) system using the GE 400T Anger camera with 37 PM tubes and the SPECTS software has been used in the study of liver imaging with Tc-99m albumin colloid and other agents. Patients were injected with 3-4 mCi (ca 120 MBq) of colloid; five standard liver-spleen views and a 64-image ECT study were acquired. A series of normal and abnormal patients have been studied and the data analyzed. The significant change in the technique of ECT imaging is the elliptical motion of the camera head which allows a better approximation of the patient contour and improves the spatial resolution of the images.
