Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT): 1989 and beyond

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and intractable epilepsy.

TAPANI TIKKAKOSKI Editor In patients with intractable epilepsy refractory to medication, surgical treatment may be needed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential neuroimaging tool in assisting the identifi cation of epileptogenic lesions. MRI at 3T has been found to perform better than 1.5T in terms of image quality, detection of structural lesions, and characterization of lesions. Th...

The 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...

Positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography.

Neuroimaging techniques have had a dramatic impact on the evaluation and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In order to take full advantage of their potential, it is important to place them in clinical and electrophysiological context and to understand their technical limitations. Positron emission tomography with 18F-2-deoxyglucose and single photon emission computed tomography can provide v...
