What are the advantages of SPECT in cancer diagnosis?
SPECT offers several advantages in cancer diagnosis: 1. Functional Imaging: Unlike traditional imaging techniques that show anatomical structures, SPECT provides functional information, helping to identify metabolic changes in tissues and organs. 2. Early Detection: SPECT can detect changes at the cellular level, often before anatomical changes become apparent, allowing for earlier diagnosis. 3. Assessment of Treatment Efficacy: By comparing pre- and post-treatment scans, SPECT can help evaluate how well a treatment is working.
