The development of  alternative techniques, such as X-Ray Computer Tomography, NMR Imaging  and Ultrasound have also had a stimulating effect and pointed the way  to new developments. The development of Positron Emission Tomography,  while in itself of limited application because of high costs involved,  provided a great deal of information which led to the development of  new organ or disease specific, single photon emitting  radiopharmaceuticals together with tomographic Gamma cameras, whereby  detailed information on the biodistribution of the reagents could be  obtained with accurate spatial resolution presented in a form suitable  for comparison with the other imaging modalities. \u003cbr\u003e  This technology, known as Single Photon Emission (Computer) Tomography  (SPECT or SPET, as the mood takes you) is now an essential tool in  nuclear medicine. The volume presents a basic guideline to the  technology involved and discusses the application of the method to the  investigation of various anatomical regions of the body. The book  is  an aide mémoire to the routine practitioner and a source of  information for other medical specialists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401041027\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401041027\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0229-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 280\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343457742988,"sku":"9789401041027","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401041027_00fd0a1f-64b0-4608-8e70-71c2114d3266.jpg?v=1755055757","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401041027","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
