(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH SUMMARY: Introduction: Bone scintigraphy is used extensively in evaluating metastatic disease.
There are currently no clear recommendations for the use of SPECT/CT in metastatic
bone disease. Existing procedural ...
Pulmonary embolism diagnosis : a clinical comparison between conventional planar and SPECT V/Q imaging using Krypton 81m – with CTPA as the gold standard
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with a superior contrast
resolution has been shown to be more sensitive and specific with a lower nondiagnostic
rate than planar imaging in many nuclear ...
