World’s First PET/SPECT Scanner Developed Using Compton Camera

Nuclear medicine relies on two imaging modalities to assess internal function and diagnose disease. Positron emission tomography (PET) typically uses fluorine-18, a radiotracer that releases positrons, and a special scanner to detect the resulting gamma rays. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is similar, but usually depends on (Read more...)
