High-efficiency SPECT technology can reduce radiation exposure to patients during gated blood pool imaging or decrease acquisition time while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. Based on the improved count sensitivity with high-efficiency SPECT, a 50% reduction in injected activity may be achievable while maintaining short imaging times of 5 minutes, with further reduction possible at longer imaging times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
