    Background:

    • Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is crucial for brain imaging.
    • Existing SPECT technology has limitations in resolution and examination time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the TESTASCAN single-photon emission multidetector gamma tomograph for brain imaging.
    • To assess its utility in diagnosing brain tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the TESTASCAN gamma tomograph for transversal brain imaging.
    • Acquired tomographic images with approximately 10 mm resolution and 15 mm slice thickness.
    • Performed clinical testing to assess reliability and ease of operation.

    Main Results:
