The effect of reconstruction algorithms (iterative versus filtered backprojection) on the diagnosis of single pulmonary nodules using Thallium-201 and Technetium-99m MIBI SPECT
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study involved 33 patients, 19 men and 14 women. The age range was wide (20-90
years) and median age was 57 years. These patients had a single pulmonary nodule (SPN)
defined radiologically as a ...
The influence of reconstruction and attenuation correction techniques on the detection of hypoperfused lesions in brain SPECT images
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Functional brain imaging using single photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) has widespread applications in the case of Alzheimers disease, acute stroke,
transient ischaemic attacks, epilepsy, ...
Imaging of renal hyperparathyroidism using SPECT/CT with low-dose localizing CT
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Hybrid imaging using single photon emission computed tomography/low dose (x-ray) computed tomography (SPECT/LDCT) is of benefit in preoperative scintigraphy of primary hyperparathyroidism. The ...
The added value of SPECT/CT in complicated osteomyelitis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: The detection of bone infection can be very difficult especially in bone with altered
structure due to prior trauma or surgical procedures. Complicated osteomyelitis (COM) is becoming a
public ...
Hybrid imaging using low-dose, localizing computed tomography enhances lesion localization in renal hyperparathyroidism
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2014-03)
Background Preoperative localization of parathyroid
lesions is potentially beneficial in renal patients with
hyperparathyroidism. The aim of this study was to
determine the localizing value of hybrid single-photon
emission ...
