ABSTRACT
Single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT); is a diagnostic imaging technique that provides functional information from SPECT and anatomical information from CT. Besides many other indications, SPECT/CT is used in planning of medical treatment, surgical treatment, and internal/external radiotherapy. In this review, we presented the role of SPECT/CT in planning of radiotherapy and in medical/surgical treatment.
