Expanded SPECT-CT Integration into Clinical Nuclear Medicine
Sponsored by Siemens Healthineers

Speaker:
Kathryn A. Morton, MD, Professor, Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences. Chief, Nuclear Medicine Service
University of Utah School of Medicine

The availability of high-quality SPECT-CT has greatly expanded the diagnostic value of nuclear medicine and has provided opportunities for improved therapeutic planning. SPECT/CT can be applied to almost any nuclear medicine imaging study with a resultant improvement in definitive interpretative assessment and precise anatomic relevance. The goal of the symposium is to comprehensively profile the current and potential role of SPECT/CT for many nuclear medicine applications, including those where SPECT/CT has not played a traditional role. Join us Sunday as Dr. Morton reviews her experiences using SPECT/CT in a clinically expanded role.
