Can SPECT/CT revitalize nuclear medicine?
SPECT/CT has been introduced recently with the expectation that it will emulate PET/CT's success as a hybrid imaging modality. Proponents are confident that the addition of CT will provide a new springboard for SPECT in nuclear cardiology as well as other functional studies, revitalizing traditional nuclear medicine.
