Abstract:
The application of hybrid equipments and fused techniques has increasing importance in the field of imaging diagnostics. The biggest advantage of these methods is the simultaneous use of several modalities which can give data about the morphological, functional as well as molecular changes of the different diseases at the same time. The facilities, advantages and the applicability of the SPECT/CT (single photon emission computer tomograph/computer tomograph) are summarized in this paper mainly in oncologic diseases, but also in other disorders. The multimodality equipments showing the function and morphology together increase the specificity and diagnostic accuracy of the nuclear medicine methods and were found to be more efficient in the therapy effectiveness, too.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
