Abstract:Hybrid imaging is becoming a popular technology in nuclear medicine. We have evaluated the added value of an integrated SPECT/low-dose multislice CT over conventional planar/SPECT nuclear imaging. Phantom and clinical studies were performed on the Infinia™ Hawkeye™ 4 slice (HWK-4) with an upgraded software package (Xeleris 2.05v) from GE Heatlthcare to assess 1) the benefit of CT for contrast-resolution, attenuation correction, and anatomic localisation; 2) the impact of hybrid imaging in 456 consecutive patie… Show more
