Abstract:
The dedicated cardiac cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) SPECT device has been commercially applied to the clinics in recent years. Compared to the traditional SPECT, cardiac CZT SPECT has better image quality, higher spatial and energy resolution with shorter acquisition duration and lower radiation exposure. With these advantages, the clinical application of cardiac CZT SPECT is of great potential. This review summarizes the technological advances, clinical progress and current shortages of cardiac CZT SPECT.
