Pinhole SPECT shows promise for arthritis imaging
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
Multipinhole SPECT has long been used for preclinical animal imaging. But in the past few years, the technique has been introduced into the clinical setting, with prospective studies performed in parathyroid imaging, scintimammography, and ankle imaging. And now multipinhole SPECT shows promise in arthritis imaging as well, according to initial study findings from researchers in Germany.
