| Article/Chapter Title: | Instrumentation for single-photon emission imaging |
| Abstract: | This chapter reviews the underlying physical principles of single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) and the design and operation as well as the capabilities and limitations of SPECT scanners used clinically and preclinically. This is the "companion" chapter to the earlier chapter on positron emission tomography (PET) instrumentation; the material in that chapter on the basic principles of radiation detectors, iterative image reconstruction, and multimodality imaging applies as well to SPECT. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017.
