Spine
The spine holds everything together, connects the head to the pelvis, and encases the spinal cord (myelon), which is protected in the spinal canal. The most common pathologies are degenerations (herniated disc, ostechondrosis, bone marrow edema).
Skeletal scintigraphy with SPECT/CT
Skeletal Scintigraphy with SPECT/CT
Skeletal scintigraphy is a medical imaging technique that measures and visualizes radioactively labeled substances (radiopharmaceuticals) within the body using a gamma camera to assess organ function. It can be performed as individual images (e.g., thyroid scintigraphy), whole-body scans (e.g., skeletal scintigraphy), or dynamic images (e.g., renal scintigraphy). Scintigraphy is widely used to evaluate the metabolic function of nearly all organ systems.
SPECT Imaging:
- Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) provides cross-sectional imaging, similar to radiological CT, offering slice-by-slice imaging of organ function within a specific volume.
- SPECT can be combined with radiological CT, resulting in a hybrid imaging system known as “SPECT/CT,” enabling more precise spatial mapping.
Hybrid Imaging: The Future of Diagnosis and Treatment
Hybrid imaging combines complementary imaging techniques into a single device (e.g., SPECT/CT or PET/CT), integrating them into a single examination procedure. This opens new horizons for diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapy monitoring, particularly in:
- Oncology: (PET/CT) for accurately determining cancer spread.
- Orthopedics: (SPECT/CT) for diagnosing skeletal diseases and injuries.
- Cardiology: for assessing heart attack risks.
