Standalone PET nuclear imaging

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional non-invasive imaging technique, which involves the use of radioactive pharmaceuticals injected into the body (oral, inhaled or intravenously administered) that enables visualization of metabolic processes of the organs. Standalone PET systems have sensitive detector panels to capture the gamma rays which comes from the body and create a 3D computed tomography images of the tracer concentrations in the body.

According to Barath Palada, a lead medical imaging research analyst from Technavio, The standalone PET nuclear imaging used to diagnose cancers, heart diseases, endocrine, neurological and many other abnormalities in the body. PET scanners also assess cellular metabolic functions accurately which helps the doctor evaluate the functioning of the organ or tissues. PET technology can deliver high-quality images and, hence, is used for both medical and research purposes.

Standalone SPECT nuclear imaging

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a nuclear tomographic imaging technique that uses gamma rays to diagnose and monitor various disorders such as those of the brain, heart, and bone. A SPECT scan controls the level of biological activity to acquire 3D images from multiple angles.

SPECT nuclear imaging technique is used for various applications such as to diagnose conditions of the central nervous system, in radiosurgery, for the treatment of intracranial tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and other surgical procedures. The adoption rate for SPECT is increasing, due to the high cost of PET scanners, adds Barath.

Hybrid nuclear imaging

Hybrid nuclear imaging is an excellent diagnostic tool in the modern-day medicine used for multiple therapeutic applications. Hybrid nuclear imaging involves the fusion of different diagnostic imaging products such as PET/CT, PET/MRI, PET/SPECT, SPECT/CT, and SPECT/MRI which allows correlation between anatomical and functional imaging.

SPECT/CT hybrid nuclear imaging has proven valuable for oncology. These hybrid nuclear imaging modalities have potential to aid the develop personalized molecular medicine. These technologies will aid in detecting and evaluating various disorders such as cardiology, oncology, and neurology.
