Multimodality Imaging with MR/PET and MR/SPECT
Abstract
Since its inception, nuclear medicine imaging has always been known as a functional imaging technique rather than an anatomical imaging method. Three-dimensional (3D) images obtained from single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) or positron emission tomographic (PET) devices depict the accumulation of radiopharmaceutical by specic cells, thus representing cellular function (see Figure 14.1a). As a result, these images lack the …
