Abstract

CZT SPECT systems have deeply changed the practice of cardiac imaging [1]. Regarding neuroimaging, although no dedicated CZT SPECT system exist for the brain and that PET imaging remains the high standard for molecular brain imaging, the practice is worldwide emerging with more than one hundred CZT 3D SPECT systems already installed. This Editorial will discuss the current available standard for brain applications on CZT SPECT systems and present the perspectives that can be expected from these systems for nuclear neurology, based on review of the literature combining the terms (“CZT” OR “Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride”) AND (“brain” OR “cerebral”) in Pubmed database.
