AB Image quality is a factor of the utmost importance in nuclear medicine. Regardless of what type of scan is being done, technologists should be diligent in how images are being acquired. With respect to brain imaging, there can be challenges that the technologist must understand how to navigate and overcome. This continuing education article, focusing mainly on brain SPECT (particularly with 123I-ioflupane) and brain 18F-FDG PET/CT, will help technologists better understand how artifacts occur and how imaging techniques can affect image quality.
