Integrated multislice CT and Tc–99m Sestamibi SPECT–CT evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)–CT with Tc–99m Sestamibi in the assessment of solitary pulmonary nodules of uncertain significance. Scintigraphy was performed using a ‘hybrid’ g–camera that allows simultaneous acquisition of SPECT and CT images, with interesting results in diagnostic oncology.
