Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)

Target
SPECT
Molecular classification
Imaging modality, Diagnostic technique
01

Overview

SPECT is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging method that uses gamma rays emitted from injected radiopharmaceuticals to create 3D images of physiological processes within the body. It provides functional, rather than purely anatomical, information by showing how blood flows to tissues and organs or how they are functioning.
