AB  - This is the first CE article in a four-part series on single photon emission tomography (SPECT) imaging. Nuclear emission tomography has rapidly gained acceptance as a viable clinical diagnostic tool. The challenge to the nuclear medicine technologist is to acquire a good working knowledge of the scientific principles. After studying this article, the reader should be able to discuss the technical issues of: 1) quality control; 2) filtering techniques; and 3) be able to identify acquisition related artifacts. A summary of new instrumentation for brain and elliptical tomography is presented as is a general discussion on system requirements for enhanced patient throughput.
