Subject: Questions about SPECT imaging
I have become involved in a project to further develop and
improve the performance of SPECT (Single Photon Emission
Computerized Tomography) imaging. We will eventually have
to peddle this stuff somewhere, and so as I move this thing
along, I would like to know --
What is the current resolution of SPECT imaging? What kinds
of jobs is SPECT used for, specifically? What kind of specific jobs
could I hope
that SPECT could be used for, if its resolution improved,
say, to close to that of PET (Positron Emission Tomography)?
And how much does a SPECT machine cost? How much does a single
SPECT image cost?
If anyone knows the answer to any or all of these questions, OR
where I could find that answer, I would be very grateful, indeed.
Thanks in advance for any replies
