SPECT scan single photon emission

DeKosky, S. T., Shih, W. J., Schmitt, F. A et al. Assessing utility of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan in Alzheimer disease correlation with cognitive severity. Alzheimer Dis. Assoc. Disord. 4 14—23,1990. [Pg.960]

Two Californian physicians, Daniel Amen and Blake Carmichael, have used another radiological technique— single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanning—on more than 2,000 patients, including adolescents and children. This process, which uses less radiation... [Pg.41]

Q.3.4 In modern MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography) scans, the instruments measure the amount of blood flowing to a specific area of the brain (SPECT) or the amount of oxygen extracted from blood (the BOLD signal in functional MRI) in order to assess the intellectual use of that part of the brain. [Pg.11]

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging allows visualization of transverse slices, useful where tumors might be hidden behind a hot liver or bladder on the planar scan. No major advantage over planar imaging was demonstrated in a large comparative study (30). [Pg.99]

While in HCC arterio-portal and arterio-venous shunting by direct tumor invasion is not uncommon, in metastases shunts are rare. Since the particle size of Tc MAA (30-90 pm) parallels that of the microsphere, the distribution of the microspheres can be predicted by an intra-arterial MAA scan. After transcatheter injection of 4-5 mCi (148-185 MBq) TcMAA into the estimated vascular territory of the tumor, intrahepatic distribution and potential pulmonary and also extrapulmonary shunting by aberrant, occult vessels can be assessed by a single photon emission CT (SPECT) gamma... [Pg.79]
