Introduction
1.
CT-SCAN
Computer Tomography (CT) biasa
juga disebut Computed axial
tomography (CAT), computerassisted tomography, atau (body
section roentgenography) yang
merupakan suatu proses yang
menggunakan digital processing
untuk menghasilkan suatu
gambaran internal tiga dimensi
suatu obyek dari satu rangkaian
sinar x yang menghasilkan
gambar dua dimensi

SCAN
SPECT SCAN
What is SPECT?
SPECT is short for single
photon emission computed tomography.
As its name suggests (single photon
emission) gamma rays are the sources of
the information rather than X-ray
emission in the conventional CT scan.
Why SPECT?
Similar to X-ray, CT, MRI, etc
SPECT allows us to visualize functional
information about patients specific
organ or body system.
THEORY AND
INSTRUMENTATION
SPECT is a technology used in
nuclear medicine where the patient is
injected with a radiopharmaceutical
which will emit gamma rays.
We seek the position and
concentration of radionuclide
distribution by the rotation of a
photon detector array around the
body which acquires data from
multiple angles.
ADVANTAGES
Localization of defects
is more precise and
more clearly seen by
the inexperienced eye.

ini terdapat di dalam sinus
valsava dalam aorta, tepat di

Discussion
In our experience, hybrid SPECT/CT images
provide help in the evaluation and grading of
calcied stenoses in CT and overcome the
problem of the abnormal uptake of the
radiopharmaceutical by the breast tissue in
SPECT.
Therefore, the usefulness of the fusion between
CT and SPECT images is to overcome the limits
of CT and the limits of SPECT with a high
diagnostic accuracy, especially in patients with
high cardiovascular risk and high presence of
physical limitations, like the diabetic patients.
