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 ...
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 ...
These findings, from a Spect scan, indicate reduced brain function rather than actual missing tissue, often linked to normal ...
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 ...
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 ...
