Comparison of the detectability of hot lesions on bone SPECT using six state-of-the-art SPECT/CT systems: a multicenter phantom study to optimize reconstruction parameters.

Single-photon emission computed tomography with X-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) systems have diversified due to the remarkable developments made by each manufacturer. This study aimed to optimize the reconstruction parameters of six state-of-the-art SPECT/CT systems and compare their image quality of bone SPECT. SPECT images were acquired on SPECT/CT systems, including Symbia Intevo, Discovery NM/CT 670, Discovery NM/CT 870 CZT, Brightview XCT, and VERITON-CT.
