Hybrid Imaging Virtual Workshop (02 25)-CT for Anatomic Localization

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Vasvi Singh, a multimodality advanced division cardiologist, discusses the use of CT for anatomic localization and attenuation correction in FDG PET and PYP SPECT. Attenuation refers to the interaction of photons within body tissues, which affects the accuracy of SPECT imaging. CT can provide high quality images of tissue attenuation and can be used for attenuation correction in SPECT imaging. Integrated SPECT-CT technology allows for the registration of physiologic and anatomic images, improving visualization and accuracy in diagnoses. CT co-registration can also enhance interpretation of PYP scan results. Proper protocol considerations and image registration techniques are important for accurate interpretation of hybrid imaging scans.
