Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how different scanning speeds of whole-body scans affect the ability to detect positive vertebral bone images in bone scintigraphy.
- Using a simulated bone model, researchers tested speeds of 15, 17, and 20 cm/min and analyzed various metrics like lesion detectability and image clarity.
- Results indicated that while the highest scan speed (20 cm/min) reduced lesion detectability compared to the slowest speed (15 cm/min), speeds of 15 and 17 cm/min showed no significant differences, suggesting a slight reduction in scan time is feasible without losing accuracy.
