Versatile Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography And Imaging Methods Using The Same

摘要

Disclosed is a versatile single photon emission computerized tomograph capable of imaging a number of areas of the patient by the same system to obtain diagnostic nuclear medical images of excellent resolution and sensitivity, and imaging method using the same. The versatile single photon emission computerized tomograph includes a support means configured in a plate structure so that the patient can lie down and adapted to move in longitudinal and vertical directions while the patient is lying down; a gantry configured in an arc shape about an object to be imaged; a body for retaining and supporting an outer surface of the gantry while being able to slide and rotate; and at least one detector mounted so as to slide along the inner surface of the gantry and adapted to protract toward or retract from the center point of the gantry to image an organ of the patient.
