SPECT / PET Imaging

Nuclear Imaging

Nuclear imaging is the gold standard for molecular imaging, utilizing SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) cameras. SPECT cameras detect molecules labeled with gamma-emitting radionuclides, while PET cameras detect molecules labeled with positron (beta+)-emitting radionuclides.

As a non-invasive technique with very high sensitivity, nuclear imaging enables the in vivo study of physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes. Complementing morphological imaging techniques such as radiology, ultrasound, or MRI, it provides functional and metabolic insights. Widely used in clinical practice, nuclear imaging is also an extremely powerful research tool.
