What Does SPECT Stand For?
SPECT stands for Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography
SPECT, or Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography, is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed three-dimensional images of functional processes within the body. By utilizing gamma-ray emitting radioisotopes, SPECT allows for the assessment of physiological functions, particularly in areas such as oncology, cardiology, and neurology. This imaging modality aids in diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions by visualizing blood flow, metabolic activity, and receptor distribution in tissues, enhancing clinical decision-making and patient management.
