Hybrid SPECT/CT: a new era for SPECT imaging?

Author: Orazio Schillaci

Published in: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging | Issue 5/2005

Excerpt

In recent years the use of medical images in healthcare has grown considerably, mainly due to the rapid evolution of imaging techniques. Now, it is usual for patients to be imaged several times, and a great number of imaging studies are generated. For physicians, it is essential to relate one image to another before rendering an interpretation. …
