Abstract

Combined SPECT/CT imaging in one device is one of the latest developments in medical imaging. Performing SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and CT (Computed Tomography) one after the other with a single machine can avoid many artifacts due to different patient positioning. To our experience an automatic and precise fusion of the images can be achieved in most cases. Tissue which is moving during the examination (e.g. lungs, heart) still causes artifacts when the data is fused.
