🧩 SPECT-CT SCAN IN TURKEY

Advanced Functional Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment

The SPECT-CT scan (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography – Computed Tomography) combines functional and anatomical imaging in one powerful diagnostic tool.
It helps doctors understand not just how organs look, but how they work, providing precise information for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of diseases.

At Medicine Park International, we coordinate SPECT-CT services in Turkey for international patients seeking fast, affordable, and reliable diagnostic imaging performed with cutting-edge technology and expert care.

💡 What Is a SPECT-CT Scan?

SPECT-CT is a hybrid imaging technique that merges:

  • SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) – which shows functional or metabolic activity of organs, and

  • CT (Computed Tomography) – which provides detailed anatomical images.

By combining both, doctors can localize abnormalities precisely, improving diagnostic confidence and treatment accuracy.

🧠 HOW SPECT-CT WORKS

During a SPECT-CT scan:

  1. A small amount of a radioactive tracer is injected into the bloodstream.

  2. The tracer travels to the target organ or tissue and emits gamma rays.

  3. The SPECT camera detects these emissions and creates 3D images showing organ function.

  4. The CT scan provides structural details.

  5. Both images are then fused digitally for a complete view of anatomy and function.

This combined imaging method is painless, non-invasive, and very safe, with low radiation exposure.

⚕️ CONDITIONS DIAGNOSED WITH SPECT-CT

SPECT-CT is widely used in oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, endocrinology, and neurology.

Common applications include:

  • Bone scans – to detect bone metastases, fractures, infections, or joint inflammation

  • Cardiac SPECT – to evaluate blood flow and detect ischemic heart disease

  • Thyroid scans – to assess thyroid nodules or hyperthyroidism

  • Parathyroid imaging – to detect overactive glands before surgery

  • Brain SPECT – to study epilepsy, stroke, or dementia

  • Infection imaging – to locate inflammatory or infectious processes

This advanced imaging helps physicians make precise treatment decisions quickly.
