A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging test. Nuclear imaging uses radiotracers (radioactive substances) that help healthcare providers get detailed pictures of specific areas in your body.

2024年1月5日 · SPECT scanning can find issues with blood flow in the brain. It can help diagnose or check on vascular brain disorders, such as moyamoya disease, a condition in which the arteries in the brain become blocked or narrowed.

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT, or less commonly, SPET) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays. [1] It is very similar to conventional nuclear medicine planar imaging using a gamma camera (that is, scintigraphy ), [ 2 ] but is able to provide true 3D information.

2024年9月29日 · Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a three-dimensional nuclear medicine imaging technique combining the information gained from scintigraphy with that of computed tomography.

2024年3月26日 · What is a SPECT Scan? A SPECT scan, which represents single-photon emanation registered tomography, utilizes a little measure of radioactive material infused into your body. This material, called a tracer, goes through your circulatory system and gets consumed by organs and tissues.

2023年1月27日 · Single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scans use radioactive materials and a specially designed camera to produce three-dimensional images of your organs and tissues.

A single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan is an imaging test that shows how blood flows to tissues and organs. It may be used to help diagnose seizures, stroke, stress fractures, infections, and tumors in the spine. How does a SPECT scan work?

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique using gamma rays. SPECT provides a 3D image of how a biological process functions in a patient. A gamma-emitting radiotracer is first injected into the bloodstream of the patient.

2020年5月24日 · Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can provide a tomographic representation of the in vivo distribution of gamma-emitting radiopharmaceuticals, irrespective of whether they are positron emitters or not. Early SPECT devices imaged a limited region of the body with high efficiency.

SPECT can give information about blood flow to tissues and chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body. Also called single-photon emission computed tomography.
