A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a type of imaging test that can help reveal the metabolic or biochemical function of the tissues and organs inside the body. A radioactive drug called tracer is used to show both normal and abnormal metabolic activities within the body. There are various diseases including heart disease, brain disorders and cancer that can be diagnosed using a PET scan. A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan is a type of nuclear imaging test that shows the movement of blood towards the tissues and organs. In this medical imaging test, a radioactive substance is used to produce images of the internal structures and organs of the body. It is used to diagnose conditions such as stress fractures, strokes, seizures, infections, and tumors in the spine. This book provides new insights into the field of PET and SPECT imaging. It consists of contributions made by international experts. The book is appropriate for students as well as for experts seeking detailed information in the area of diagnostic imaging.
