A SPECT/CT system is a combined imaging device that integrates single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) technologies into a single unit. It is used clinically to obtain both functional nuclear medicine images showing radiopharmaceutical distribution and anatomical x-ray images, which can be fused to precisely localize areas of metabolic or physiological activity within the body.
Such systems are regulated as diagnostic imaging assemblies and may be used independently for SPECT or CT imaging, or in combination for fused image interpretation. The component modalities support applications in oncology, cardiology, and neurology, and the resulting images can be exported for use in radiation therapy planning or further image analysis on external systems.
