Tc HMPAO SPECT is used for:
Cerebral perfusion imaging
Renal imaging
Parathyroid imaging
Thyroid imaging
Ans. A. Cerebral perfusion imaging* Tc HMPAO SPECT is used for cerebral perfusion assessment. For example, in Alzheimer's it shows reduced perfusion of the temporoparietal region.* D-SPECT represents the next step in the evolution of SPECT technology and is based on a unique acquisition geometry. It has nine arrays of cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors, each of which rotates around its central axis with programmable angular rotation.
