Abstract: | Conclusion Several quality-control measures take place before (patient and camera preparation) and during SPECT acquisition to achieve
high-quality images. Not uncommonly, technologists and physicians are left with suboptimal images that have to be addressed
to reach the “right answer” for patient diagnosis and hence management. In many cases patients may be reimaged, especially
if the problem is detected early, but in other cases either the patient has left the nuclear laboratory or there is an inevitable
problem that, even with reimaging, will not be resolved. In these situations the technologist and physician have to seek the
available techniques to obtain the best images possible. These resources are discussed in this issue as an aid in quality
control to obtain the best possible images. |
