Synopsis

This volume is the first multisystem review of the current clinical applications of SPECT imaging. The leading experts in SPECT imaging describe the use of this modality in the diagnosis and evaluation of cardiac, neurologic, pulmonary, skeletal, and gastrointestinal disorders. Both established and evolving applications are highlighted, as are the relative advantages of SPECT in different clinical settings. The book also provides in-depth coverage of the technical aspects of SPECT--the underlying basic science, current instrumentation, data acquisition and processing, quality control, and newer reconstruction techniques. More than 200 full-color and black-and-white illustrations complement the text.The book includes a discussion of the potential of quantitative SPECT for correlative imaging and for dosimetry planning in radionuclide therapy. In addition, a timely update on multimodality image fusion assesses its increasing importance in tandem with SPECT's growing role in the comprehensive imaging workup.
