Overview
The other imaging modalities that can be used for brain tumors are single-photon emission computed tomography, positron emission tomography and whole bone scan.
Other imaging findings
- In post-therapy imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) may be useful in differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis.[1]
- Whole bone scan: The goal of a whole body bone scan is to show if a cancer has metastasized to your bones.
