Description
Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Market size was valued at USD 2.55 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2028. This report studies global single-photon emission computed tomography market dynamics elaborately to identify the current trends & drivers, future opportunities and possible challenges to the key stakeholders operating in the market. A Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan is a medical imaging technique that shows how blood flows to tissues and organs. A single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan integrates two technologies which consists of computed tomography (CT) and a radioactive material (tracer). The tracer allows the doctors to see how blood flows to tissues and organs. A radioactive-labeled pharmaceutical (radiopharmaceutical) is administered to a patient. The chemical that is radiolabeled, meaning it emits gamma rays that can be detected by the scanner. The computer collects the information emitted by the gamma rays and translates them into two-dimensional cross-sections. These cross-sections can be added back together to form a 3D image of your brain.
