Single photon emission computed tomography

method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy: the camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the subject to capture images at multiple positions along the arc; the computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the three-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ.
