In the past nuclear medicine has tended to develop in cycles
governed by the development of new radiopharmaceuticals followed or
preceded by advances in instrumentation. The development of
alternative techniques, such as X-Ray Computer Tomography, NMR
Imaging and Ultrasound have also had a stimulating effect and
pointed the way to new developments. The development of Positron
Emission Tomography, while in itself of limited application because
of high costs involved, provided a great deal of information which
led to the development of new organ or disease specific, single
photon emitting radiopharmaceuticals together with tomographic
Gamma cameras, whereby detailed information on the biodistribution
of the reagents could be obtained with accurate spatial resolution
presented in a form suitable for comparison with the other imaging
modalities. This technology, known as Single Photon Emission
(Computer) Tomography (SPECT or SPET) is now an essential tool in
nuclear medicine. The volume presents a basic guideline to the
technology involved and discusses the application of the method to
the investigation of various anatomical regions of the body. The
book is an aide memoire to the routine practitioner and a source of
information for other medical specialists.
