What Does ECT Stand For?
ECT stands for Emission Computed Tomography
Emission Computed Tomography (ECT) is a medical imaging technique that utilizes radioactive tracers to visualize and assess physiological processes in the body. By detecting gamma rays emitted from these tracers, ECT provides detailed cross-sectional images that help in diagnosing and monitoring various conditions, particularly in oncology, cardiology, and neurology. This non-invasive modality enhances diagnostic accuracy and aids in treatment planning by illustrating functional and metabolic activity within tissues.
