Quantitative SPECT is an emerging technology that incorporates standardized uptake values (SUV) and/or activity concentration information to conventional SPECT/CT imaging. In this session we will report on the technical developments that have enabled quantitative SPECT and provide context for understanding its capabilities and limitations. The current role of SPECT/CT for radionuclide treatment planning and external beam treatment planning will be presented through clinical examples with a focus on value and limitations.
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn about the technical developments in terms of acquisition and processing that enabled the evolution of SPECT from qualitative to quantitative imaging
2. To learn about the application of SPECT in radionuclide and external-beam treatment planning
