Research
Radiologists and scientists who have training in SPECT scans and other imaging technologies study how best to use SPECT scans. These scans are used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions. They are dedicated to developing new techniques and uses for SPECT imaging.
Current clinical trials include an investigation of new combination SPECT-CT scanners called the Veriton and StarGuide systems. These systems show the potential to provide a significant gain in image quality compared with standard cameras.
Another clinical trial is evaluating the effectiveness of SPECT-CT imaging to reveal early stages of prostate cancer.
