Contributionof SPECT againstwhole body bone scintigraphy
HOLUBOVÁ, Karolína
This bachelor thesis compares two of the main examination methods in nuclear medicine, which are SPECT and the whole body scintigraphy of the skeleton. At the whole body scintigraphy of the skeleton, some structures may overlap at different depths and thus they are not detectable. Whereas with SPECT these structures are displayed separately, their anatomical orientation is refined and the contrast of the focuses is increased. Experience shows, that number of pathological focuses, which are very well recognisable in the skeleton on the SPECT, may not be detected whatsoever or are poorly anatomically defined on the scintigraphic planar image. One research question is asked in this work: "In what percentage did SPECT brings new findings compared to the whole-body skeletal scintigraphy?" The given goal was fulfilled and the reasearch question was answerd. Images of anonymous patients with SPECT examination and whole-body scintigraphy of skeleton are used for the research, to compare the findings from the department of nuclear medicine at the hospital of České Budějovice.
