Single photon emission computed tomography — (SPECT, or less commonly, SPET) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays. It is very similar to conventional nuclear medicine planar imaging using a gamma camera. However, it is able to provide true 3D information.… … Wikipedia
single-photon emission computed tomography — (SPECT) a type of tomography in which gamma photon–emitting radionuclides are administered to patients and then detected by one or more gamma cameras rotated around the patient. From the series of two dimensional images produced, a three… … Medical dictionary
Tomography — Basic principle of tomography: superposition free tomographic cross sections S1 and S2 compared with the projected image P Tomography refers to imaging by sections or sectioning, through the use of any kind of penetrating wave. A device used in… … Wikipedia
tomography — Making of a radiographic image of a selected plane by means of reciprocal linear or curved motion of the x ray tube and film cassette; images of all other planes are blurred (“out of focus”) by being relatively displaced on the film. SYN:… … Medical dictionary
Positron emission tomography — (PET) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique which produces a three dimensional image or map of functional processes in the body. The system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is… … Wikipedia
