Bone scintigraphy is usually obtained as a whole-body scan producing 2 images: an
anterior view and a posterior view. Sometimes abnormal findings in the spine are difficult to …

Purpose: This prospective study evaluated the contribution of single-photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT)-(low-dose) CT (SPECT-ldCT) over SPECT alone in all …

Purpose: The recent addition of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-CT
into bone scintigraphy (BS), increased the accuracy of the test. The objective of this study …

Background. In 1971, bone scintigraphy was performed the first time using 99mTc-labeled
polyphosphonates. Since that time, bone scintigraphy has become one of the most frequent …

408 Objectives: We have previously shown that whole body (WB) bone SPECT scans can
be performed in a duration similar to planar imaging (JNM vol 47 (5) 62P 2006). In this study …

2016 Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the value of SPECT/CT fusion imaging
in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions in the 99mTc-MDP whole-body …

Methods Forty-two patients with equivocal lesions on planar scintigraphy were recruited and
underwent SPECT/CT imaging. On reading of SPECT alone and then SPECT/CT, lesions …

Hybrid cameras combining SPECT and spiral CT offer the opportunity to obtain a diagnostic-
quality CT image of scintigraphically suggestive lesions that directly correlates with the …

178 Objectives: Whole body bone scanning is routinely performed on gamma cameras in
planar mode and usually requires 25-35 min to generate good quality images. On the other …

Purpose. The use of SPECT/CT in bone scans has been widespread in recent years, but
there are no specific guidelines concerning the optimal acquisition protocol. Two strategies …
