CHICAGO – When children present with back pain, physicians want to expose them to the least amount of medical testing without missing a diagnosis. Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia ...

The current focus of cardiovascular medicine is on early detection and prevention of disease, to control the escalating costs of health care. To achieve this goal, novel imaging approaches that allow ...

Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...

For the evaluation of biological processes using radioisotopes, there are two competing technologies: single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). Both ...

What is single photon emission computed tomography? Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a form of non-invasive nuclear imaging used in order to determine how organs inside the body ...

GE Healthcare’s Discovery NM630 – for quicker, lower dose imaging – has just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This new system for disease detection and diagnosis is a SPECT scan – or ...

An imaging scan called SPECT records brain activity during epileptic seizures. The scan pinpoints where seizures originate, and helps in the planning of surgery to remove the part of the brain ...

The installation project also included a full renovation of the scanning room at Wellington Regional Hospital.
