What are the Applications of SPECT in Cancer Diagnosis?
SPECT is particularly useful in the diagnosis and management of various types of cancer. It can:
Detect tumor locations and stages by showing areas of abnormal metabolic activity. Evaluate the effectiveness of cancer treatments by comparing pre- and post-treatment scans. Identify recurrence of cancer by detecting new areas of abnormal activity. Assist in planning radiation therapy by mapping out the precise location of tumors.
