Dynamic brain imaging with SPECT

Creators

Description

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a rapidly developing technology capable of making 3-dimensional measurements of cerebral physiology. Recent developments in radiopharmaceuticals and imaging instruments have made SPECT competitive with positron emission tomography (PET) in many aspects of functional brain imaging. It is now possible to make detailed measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and receptor function with instruments and radiopharmaceuticals that are practical for routine clinical application
