Springer SPECT Imaging of the Brain - Nuclear Medicine 29

SPECT Imaging of the Brain is a specialized text from the Developments in Nuclear Medicine series. While structural brain images are common diagnostic aids in the developed world, functional brain imaging remains a distinct area of study due to technical limitations and the resource-demanding nature of techniques like PET. This volume addresses the specific role of SPECT in clinical settings. It explores the landscape of functional imaging, noting that while many diagnostic questions are answered through cerebral anatomy, functional techniques provide necessary insights that structural scans may miss. This book serves as a professional resource for understanding the complexities and applications of SPECT technology in the field of neurology and clinical neurophysiology.
