The present study results, based on concordant data from phantom and patients, as well as from quantitative and qualitative visual analyses, show that the quality of brain perfusion SPECT images can be significantly enhanced by acquisition using a dedicated brain configuration for recordings obtained from a 360° CZT camera, as compared with an Anger camera. Furthermore, this enhancement may be achieved with a high-speed recording of no more than 15 min, a property that is particularly useful in patients with neurological diseases and for whom a brain perfusion SPECT may be indicated.
