single-photon emission computed tomography
1single photon emission computed tomography — n a medical imaging technique that is used esp. for mapping brain function and that is similar to positron emission tomography in using the photons emitted by the agency of a radioactive tracer to create an image but that differs in being able to …
2Single 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.… …

6single-photon emission computed tomography — SPECT. A special type of computed tomography (CT) scan in which a small amount of a radioactive drug is injected into a vein and a scanner is used to make detailed images of areas inside the body where the radioactive material is taken up by the… …
7single photon emission computed tomography — ▪ imaging technique imaging technique used in biomedical research and in diagnosis. SPECT is similar to positron emission tomography (PET), in which a compound labeled with a positron emitting radionuclide is injected into the body; however, its …
8single-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… …
