Abstract EN
Molecular imaging has witnessed a tremendous change over the last decade.
Growing interest and emphasis are placed on this specialized technology represented by developing new scanners, pharmaceutical drugs, diagnostic agents, new therapeutic regimens, and ultimately, significant improvement of patient health care.
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) have their signature on paving the way to molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine.
The former will be the topic of the current paper where the authors address the current position of the molecular SPECT imaging among other imaging techniques, describing strengths and weaknesses, differences between SPECT and PET, and focusing on different SPECT designs and detection systems.
Radiopharmaceutical compounds of clinical as well-preclinical interest have also been reviewed.
Moreover, the last section covers several application, of μSPECT imaging in many areas of disease detection and diagnosis.
