Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Overview

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Overview

Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is an analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by analyzing the light emitted from excited atoms. In AES, atoms in a sample are excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from high-temperature sources, such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When these excited atoms return to lower energy states, they emit light at specific wavelengths characteristic of each element. The resulting atomic emission spectrum, which consists of...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Lab

AES is a powerful analytical technique, especially effective when used with plasma sources, producing abundant spectra in characteristic emission lines. The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), in particular, yields superior quantitative analytical data due to its high stability, low noise, low background, and minimal interferences under optimal experimental conditions. However, newer air-operated microwave sources are emerging as promising alternatives that could be more cost-effective than...

Background:

Quantitative SPECT-CT is an increasingly vital imaging modality.
Its applications have expanded from radionuclide therapy dosimetry to bone, cardiac, and brain imaging, including theranostics.

Purpose of the Study:

To offer guidelines for nuclear medicine departments developing quantitative SPECT-CT services.
To provide recommendations on protocols, harmonization, and clinical use cases.

Main Methods:

Guidelines developed by European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) committees (Physics, Dosimetry, Oncology, Bone).
Reviewed and approved by all EANM committees and endorsed by EANM.

Main Results:

The guidelines offer a framework for high-quality quantitative SPECT-CT.
They support the continued development and establishment of this modality.

Conclusions:

These practice guidelines will assist practitioners, scientists, and researchers in performing high-quality quantitative SPECT-CT.
They provide a structured approach for advancing quantitative SPECT-CT as a standard imaging technique.
