Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Nuclear Medicine
Radiology

Background:

Conventional gamma cameras are essential for SPECT imaging.
Computed Tomography (CT) provides crucial anatomical information.
Integrating SPECT and CT offers synergistic diagnostic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an integrated SPECT/CT system using a standard gamma camera.
To achieve seamless scanning on a single bed, maintaining diagnostic utility.
To create a compact, modular, and cost-effective SPECT/CT solution.

Main Methods:

A Philips SKYLight gamma camera was integrated with a single-slice helical CT.
A modified CT bed on wheels was utilized for both SPECT and CT scans.
CT data were employed for anatomical localization and attenuation correction.

Main Results:

The combined SPECT/CT system occupies a minimal footprint (6.2m x 4.6m room).
Over 200 patients underwent SPECT/CT scans in the first year, showing improved localization of abnormalities.
Attenuation correction was implemented for all relevant radionuclides.

Conclusions:

A novel, cost-effective combined SPECT/CT system was successfully developed.
The integrated design is compact, modular, and upgradeable.
The system preserves the full diagnostic capabilities of both SPECT and CT modalities.
