Abstract
SPECT/CT imaging provides detailed information on the radiotracer distribution and enables simultaneous lesion morphology evaluation.
This hybrid imaging delivers complementary information about patient’s disease.
We present two cases in which SPECT/CT imaging and cooperation between the nuclear medicine physician and radiologist quickly clarified the diagnosis, sparing patient unnecessary diagnostic procedures or treatment.
