内容紹介
近年SPECT-CT装置が徐々に普及しつつある。SPECTとCTとの融合はPET-CTの場合と同じく、単光子放出核種による核医学検査の診断能を大きく向上させる効果があると考えられる。ここではSPECTとCTの融合処理に関する現状、脳血流SPECT、その他のシンチ検査におけるSPECT-CTの有用性に関して概説する。
SPECT-CT has recently become popular and distributed gradually to some facilities. Remarkable improvement of diagnostic ability can be expected by the integration of SPECT and CT as well as PETCT. We will give an overview of the method of the integration of SPECT and CT, and discuss the usefulness of SPECT-CT for cerebral perfusion or other nuclear medicine imaging by single photon emitting tracers.
