Breaking the resolution limits of SPECT

By Cynthia E. Keen

Molecular imaging is essential for research of human disease because it enables noninvasive visualization of minute structures at the sub-organ and/or sub-tumor level. Its use has been constrained, however, by the challenge of producing images with high enough spatial resolution, until now.
