Patients benefit from lower radiation doses and shorter examination times as the system...
What is SPECT? Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging is a sophisticated Nuclear Medicine study. While other "modalities" of Radiology are used to assess anatomical structures, Nuclear Medicine enables physicians to see physiology, or function. Physicians utilize NeuroSPECT or functional brain imaging to assess blood perfusion to the brain. Titusville, FL (PRWEB) November 20, 2010 NeuroSPECT of Florida, a new SPECT imaging facility, is now open in...

SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been investigating reports that patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) brain perfusion scans were accidently exposed to excess radiation. The FDA found that when properly used, the CT scanners did not malfunction. Instead, it is likely that the improper use of the scanners resulted in these overdoses. However, the FDA has identified a series or promising steps to enhance the safety of...
