| Similar to a PET scan, the SPECT scan uses radioactive tracers to help spot cancer in your body. |
|
| Their parietal lobe on a SPECT scan would appear to be hot as they argued legalistic Talmudic questions and Biblical exegeses, not cooling down. |
|
| I was going to say that PET is superior to SPECT for many things, like the diagnosis of cancer, so you're actually looking for a better test. |
|
| But if Ayotte really puts a hold on Rice, I SPECT that'll get lots of attention. |
|
| In other words, SPECT might not be a useful tool for assessing more subtle physiological states, like anxiety and depression. |
|
| Type A: Anatomical integrity is largely maintained in the Brain SPECT scan. |
|
| We could take the operating costs now for SPECT cameras and move them into PET so that the financial hit wouldn't be that hard. |
|
| In late summer 2008, the shutdown of three European reactors needed for the production of SPECT radioisotopes caused a market shortage. |
|
| Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT imaging showed the increased activity corresponding to myelomatous lesion on left orbit and frontal bone. |
|
| A revolutionary change in the design of cardiac SPECT cameras is underway and the Heart Institute is the first site in Canada to obtain advanced equipment. |
|
| Dr. Ruddy's research focuses on the development and validation of imaging techniques using SPECT and PET radiotracers for the diagnosis and evaluation of cardiovascular disease. |
|
| In 2015, the cardiology application accounts for the largest share of European Nuclear Medicine SPECT market. |
|
| In Europe, the shortage of SPECT radioisotopes, triggered in 2008 by the shutdown of reactors needed to produce these radioisotopes, was managed so as to limit the impact. |
|
| Well, the best alternative for what we call conventional nuclear medicine procedures, SPECT imaging with technetium or other single-photon tracers, is basically positron emission tomography. |
|
| As a result, nearly every hospital in North America has a SPECT system. |
|
| With its acquisition of CISBIO, IBA entered the business of SPECT radiopharmaceutical production, which is done mainly at IBA's plant in Saclay, near Paris, France. |
|
| One interesting additional aspect of STICH was the viability study carried out in a subset of 601 patients using either dobutamine echocardiograms or SPECT stress testing. |
|
| A CT gamma camera with a CT scanner in a single integrated unit allows radiologists to anatomically localize scintigraphic findings on SPECT images. |
|
| The patient is then stabilized and transferred to the SPECT scanner to receive a brain SPECT scan, which will indicate the regional cerebral perfusion at the time of ictus. |
|
| Preoperative technetium Tc 99m sestamibi SPECT imaging in the management of primary hyperparathyroidism in patients with concomitant multinodular goiter. |
