What Insights Does Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) Offer?
SPECT imaging is similar to PET but uses gamma-emitting radioisotopes. It is particularly useful for assessing the functional effects of toxins on specific organs or systems, such as the cardiovascular or central nervous system. SPECT can provide information on blood flow, receptor binding, and cellular activity, offering insights into the mechanisms of toxicity.
