The influence of misregistration between CT and SPECT images on the accuracy of CT-based attenuation correction of cardiac SPECT/CT imaging: Phantom and clinical studies
Introduction: Integration of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) scanners into SPECT/CT hybrid systems permit detection of coronary artery disease in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Misregistration between CT and emission data can produce some errors in uptake value of SPECT images. The aim of this study was evaluate the influence...
متن کاملThe Clinical Applications of Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography and Computed Tomography (spect/ct) in Oncology
The accurate evaluation of a tumor’s stage is one of the most important steps for successful treatment. Radionuclide imaging, now widely used, is useful because it may reflect not only morphological characteristics but also metabolic activities. Conventional imaging techniques can provide anatomical information, necessary for the accurate detection and localization of structural and morphologic...
متن کاملPictorial review of SPECT/CT imaging applications in clinical nuclear medicine.
Integrated SPECT/CT scanners are gaining popularity as hybrid molecular imaging devices which can acquire SPECT and CT in a single exam. CT can be a low dose non-contrast enhanced scan for attenuation correction and anatomical localization, or a contrast enhanced diagnostic quality scan for additional anatomical characterization. We present a pictorial review highlighting the usefulness of this...
متن کاملSPECT-US image fusion and clinical applications
Because scintigraphic images lack anatomical information, single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography systems (PET) are combined physically with CTs to compensate for this drawback. In our work, we present a method where the CT is replaced by a 3D ultrasound device. Because in this case a mechanical linkage is not possible, we use an additional optical tracking sy...
متن کاملClinical Application of SPECT-CT in Breast Cancer
Radiopharmaceuticals used in standard nuclear medicine for patients with breast cancer are a well-known source of ionizing radiation, emitating gamma-photon particles: tumorotroponin cationic complexes such as 99mTc-Sestamibi/ Tetrofosmin (MIBI/TF); radiolabelled somatostatin analogues 111In-Ocrteoscan/99mTc-Tektrotyd; 99mTc-MDP; 99mTc-Nanocoll and etc. The intensive tracer uptake of the differ...
