This image is a SPECT image that shows a rare adrenaline-producing tumor called adrenal pheochromocytoma.

SPECT/CT (SPECT=single photon emission computed tomography) imaging is used to measure some body functions and can be used to detect cancer.  Patients are injected with a small amount of radioactive material and then have to lie in a machine that captures the gamma ray emissions from the material.  The images that are created represent thin slices through the body.  Computer software is then used to combine the slices to make a virtual three dimensional model that can be viewed from any angle.  SPECT can be used in combination with other imaging techniques (MRI, PET, etc.) to get additional details of the patients status.

SPECT can be used to locate cancer, and monitor blood flow and brain activity.   Research into the use of SPECT for different cancer types...
