An illustrative review of incidental findings seen on PET-CT with a focus on classification and system based structured review areas.

Mr Enrique Sunga gives detailed tips on performing SPECT/CT from a technical aspect, particularly in patient positioning, gained from work at Royal Free Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Image artefacts arise from a number of different sources. They can be an artefact arising in the CT imaging phase or they may be generated during the process of combining information from both the CT and the SPECT study.

Recent developments in radionuclide imaging, such as advanced image reconstruction and the advent of widespread hybrid imaging, have enabled accurate quantification in SPECT. However, despite numerous methodological advances towards image based quantification, the ‘culture’ to enable its use in clinical applications has only recently started to change.

John Dickson presents image reconstruction and registration methodologies. With a multitude of options available when using image registration, it is important to understand the benefits and limitations of the method chosen.

Bone SPECT/CT is a promising problem solving tool in patients with unexplained hand and wrist pain, but additional research is required.

The talk summarises the agents which can be used in infection imaging using SPECT/CT and how these can be applied in clinical practice with reference to published evidence and guidelines as appropriate. It also looks at the role of SPECT/CT compared to PET/CT.
