SPECT scan
SPECT Scan is the acronym for Single-photon emission computed tomography. It is a nuclear imaging test which is non-invasive and helps in determining how internal organs work in the body. With the help of gamma camera and injected detectors, it creates a 3-d image visualisation where apart from knowing the structure of internal organs (x-ray) it shows exactly how blood is flowing through the heart, and which part of the brain is getting triggered.
It is the integration of the computer tomography and radioactive tracer, which helps doctors for the early detection of strokes, stress fractures, infections, seizures and tumour in the body.To know more visit our SEPCT Scan center in bangalore.
SPECT Scan: Know What It Can Detect?
SPECT scans are generally used to detect bone disorders, heart malfunctioning and brain disorders. It solves many queries of our doctors and helps them answer questions like
- If there is any symptom of Dementia in the brain
- If there is any sign of clogged vessels, Epilepsy, or seizures in the brain.
- It signals about other miscellaneous head injuries too.
- If any clogged coronary arteries in the heart
- If the heart pumping efficiency is deteriorating
- If there is any fracture or cancer spread in the bone
Working principle of SPECT Scan
- A radiotracer is injected into the bloodstream first.
- The tracer is radiolabeled and is chosen by the doctors depending upon what he wants to diagnose.
- The tracer radioisotope maybe technetium-99m, iodine-123,xenon-133, flourin-18 or thalium 201.
- Since the tracer is radiolabeled, it emits gamma rays which are easily detected by CT Scan.
- The information that the computer collects is mapped into CT-cross sections and are assembled to give a 3-d image in the end.
- Unlike PET Scan, the tracer is not absorbed by the tissues. It remains in bloodstream limiting providing images of areas where blood flows.

Early examination: Benefits of doing it
Detection is very important before any treatment and to get detected, it is more important to get yourself diagnosed for the same in case of any occurrence of adverse symptoms in the body.
You need to get a SPECT Scan done as soon as possible because
- It can accurately detect cerebral blood flow.
- It successfully deciphers the patterns of brain activity.
- SPECT is superior to MRI, since not only structure, it informs about how exactly the brain is functioning in 3-d.
- Unlike MRI, SPECT has the ability to determine the under and over active functionality of the brain.
- Due to instant neural results, SPECT Scan is more reliable, effective and advantageous

SPECT scan protocols: Steps you must follow before the examination
Some special care has to be taken before you come for the SPECT Scan to our clinic. Our health care team will assist you in taking measures, some of which are
