What are the future directions for SPECT in cancer care?
The future of SPECT in cancer care looks promising with ongoing advancements: 1. Hybrid Imaging: Combining SPECT with other imaging modalities like CT or MRI (known as SPECT/CT or SPECT/MRI) can provide both functional and anatomical information, improving diagnostic accuracy. 2. New Tracers: Development of new radioactive tracers specific to different types of cancer can enhance the specificity and sensitivity of SPECT. 3. AI Integration: Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in image processing and analysis can lead to faster and more accurate interpretations.
