Abstract
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) uses an internal energy source through an emission process to image the human body. In this modality, radioactive pharmaceuticals are injected into the body to interact with selected body matter or tissue to form an internal source of radioactive energy that is used for imaging. Such types of Nuclear Medicine imaging modalities provide useful metabolic information about the
physiological functions of the organs.
