Abstract:
SPECT-CT being a hybrid imaging scanner provides molecular and anatomical imaging in one go as a one stop shop. The addition of correlative CT scan to the planar skeletal scintigraphy gives better localization of the lesion, its characterization and attenuation correction as well. We present a brief overview of our institutional experience with hybrid SPECT-CT, as an adjunct to planar skeletal scintigraphy. SPECT-CT imaging improves the diagnostic yield and specificity of planar skeletal scintigraphy.

Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles
The muscle sarcolemma is a plasma membrane enclosing each muscle cell that conducts electrical signals called action potentials. The sarcolemma extends into the cell to form T-tubules, ensuring the neural impulses are uniformly distributed across the entire muscle...
Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
