SPECT/CT Scan animation

An common and important nuclear medicine procedure is a SPECT/CT scan. A SPECT scan is used to assess the function of tissues or organs in your body to identify disease. A CT scan provides your doctor with high resolution images of structures in your body. Today, generally a SPECT/CT scan is performed where the images from the two different types of scans are captured during one session and the images are combined. Each piece of information is important, but when combined they are even more useful. Find out more: www.ansto.gov.au/nuclearmedicine
