Excerpt

New imaging instruments and analysis techniques have led to major advances in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. The invention of the Anger scintillation camera began the modern era of nuclear medicine imaging, and the camera is still widely used today [1]. Positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), based on tomographic image reconstruction algorithms, offer much higher detection power and localization accuracy than conventional scintigraphy. The introduction of dual-modality PET/computed tomography (CT) and SPECT/CT systems in the late 1990s was a revolutionary advance in modern diagnostic imaging [2, 3]. …
