Thanks madam
Very informative lecture

[Hadeertarek]

Hi Doctor, I would like to ask whether the spect technique is the same as the gamma camera

[Orian]

What types of particle accelerators are used to produce PET and SPECT radioisotopes?Can cyclotrons and synchrotrons produce radioisotopes for both techniques?

[izzymmm]

Very helpful for revision! Thank you for creating these videos.

[manolischristopoulos]

great video.. all the procceses tha produce imaging must have gamma radiation is this the point?

[SnottyPunk]

Hi, dr. Moyert :), thank you so much for such clear and visually attractive explanations! I was wondering if I could use some of your slides/pictures for my presentation for a CogSci course?

[nlibwnq]

such a great video ! my question is why a doctor should use PET instead of SPECT ? Is it a matter of quality ?

[AthenaSahaar]

thank you for the video it was very easy to understand <3
