An Overview of the Installation Project of a SPECT/CT (Brightview XCT) and PET/CT (Tru Flight) In Faridkot

SPECT/CT and PET/CT has revolutionized medical diagnosis by depicting the spatial distribution of metabolic or biochemical activity in the body which can be more precisely localized with anatomical structure obtained by CT scanning. Many diagnostic imaging procedures in oncology, surgical planning, radiation therapy and cancer staging have been changing rapidly under the influence of PET/CT availability, and centers have been gradually abandoning conventional PET devices and substituting them by PET/CTs. Although the combined/hybrid device is considerably more expensive, it has the advantage of providing both functions as stand-alone examinations, being, in fact, two devices in one. SPECT/CT or PET/CT installation and implementation are unique to each institution, and each practice will need to examine its facility, work flow, and processes to best adapt them for the new technology.
