Hi.

I don't have the answer to any of your questions. Sorry. However, I thought it important to mention that PET still provides functionality that SPECT does not, regardless of resolution. SPECT is limited to determining blood flow. PET can detect the activity of brain tissue through monitoring glucose utilization. Also, PET can use radioactive tracers to determine receptor types and numbers.

> I was wondering which ones are of good quality and up to date. the amen clinics appear to use a "Picker Prism 3000" which from searching on the internet appears to be from quite a while ago (1990)... would it still be any good resolution wise? accoding to a lyme disease study SPECT is getting much closer to PET in resolution... what machines would be included in this definition? are there any machines, centres, or doctors using spect that are wellknown and trusted for neuropsychiatric diagnostic purposes?
