Over the past several years, abdominal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging has evolved from a research tool to an important clinical imaging modality that is helpful in the diagnostic assessment of a wide variety of disorders involving the abdominal viscera. Although liver-spleen imaging is the most popular of the abdominal SPECT procedures, blood pool imaging is becoming much more widely utilized for the evaluation of cavernous hemangiomas of the liver as well as other vascular abnormalities in the abdomen. Adjunctive indium leukocyte and gallium SPECT studies are also proving to be of value in the assessment of a variety of infectious and neoplastic diseases. As more experience is acquired in this area, SPECT should become the primary imaging modality for both gallium and indium white blood cells in many institutions. Renal SPECT, on the other hand, has only recently been used as a clinical imaging modality for the assessment of such parameters as renal depth and volume. The exact role of renal SPECT as a clinical tool is, therefore, yet to be determined.
在过去几年中，腹部单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）成像已从一种研究工具发展成为一种重要的临床成像方式，有助于对涉及腹部内脏的多种疾病进行诊断评估。尽管肝脾成像在腹部SPECT检查中最为常用，但血池成像在评估肝脏海绵状血管瘤以及腹部其他血管异常方面的应用越来越广泛。辅助性铟白细胞和镓SPECT研究在评估各种感染性和肿瘤性疾病方面也被证明具有价值。随着在该领域积累更多经验，SPECT在许多机构中应成为镓和铟白细胞的主要成像方式。另一方面，肾脏SPECT直到最近才被用作评估肾脏深度和体积等参数的临床成像方式。因此，肾脏SPECT作为临床工具的确切作用尚待确定。
