A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan lets your doctor analyze your bodys organs, tissue and bones. A SPECT scan is a type of nuclear imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create 3D pictures.

While imaging tests such as X-rays can show what the structures inside your body look like, a SPECT scan produces images that show how your organs are functioning. For instance, a SPECT scan can show how well blood is flowing to your heart; what areas of your brain are more active or less active; or what parts of your bone are affected by cancer.

Some of the most common uses of SPECT are to help diagnose or monitor brain disorders, heart problems and bone disorders.
