Nuclear Medicine Studies: Whole-Body Bone SPECT-CT Scans For Cancer Staging Improves Accuracy of Diagnosis
What exactly is a whole-body SPECT-CT? A SPECT-CT scan combines the high sensitivity of a bone scan with the increased specificity of a CT scan. The SPECT-CT study improves the localisation of bone uptake and helps characterise the cause of the bone uptake more clearly. This helps improve the diagnostic accuracy of the bone scan.…
