The role of functional imaging is growing in clinical practice, where it is used to investigate the functional and physiological changes in the target. Unlike anatomical imaging, functional imaging is ...

Preclinical imaging is rapidly becoming a standard technology for drug discovery and development. This adoption has been driven by the increasing pressure on pharmaceutical companies to identify ways ...

Image reconstruction is a fundamental part of PET allowing to generate 3D tomographic images of the tracer’s spatial distribution based on the position and timing of the detected annihilation gammas.

Researchers in the Netherlands have succeeded in combining two forms of medical imaging techniques (microPET and microSPECT) into one piece of equipment. These techniques can be performed ...

Researchers in Japan are developing a medical camera that can simultaneously detect radioactive tracers used for PET and SPECT scans. The team has now demonstrated that the camera can image both ...

Lowering the dose: PET images reconstructed with CT-free techniques (left two columns) and with the use of CT images (centre column). The right two columns show difference images between attenuation ...

Albira Preclinical PET SPECT CT System is an integrated trimodal system with one of the smallest footprints on the market. It allows for automated fusion between three modalities and with the use of ...

It is recommended you are familiar with the basic principles of SPECT and tomographic reconstruction. The necessary coverage can be found in ' Introduction to SPECT - Understanding SPECT'The topics in ...

image: Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of ...

A head-to-head comparative study of multiple imaging modalities suggests that positron emission tomography (PET) is the most accurate noninvasive test for the detection of myocardial ischemia. In a ...
