Researchers have established that SPECT image quality generally improves when using collimators with higher sensitivity than traditional low-energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimators.

Regular quality control testing of medical radiological equipment improves clinical image quality and reduces radiation exposure of patients.

A new study shows that combining high resolution and high sensitivity collimation provides better quality images when using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans.
