About Neurological Imaging
Looking at how the brainis supplied and working.
Brain SPECT-CT shows how blood flows through different regions of the brain, and certain tracers show specific processes such as dopamine transport. The findings are interpreted together with your symptoms, examination and other tests such as MRI.
Cerebral perfusion
Perfusion SPECT-CT shows regional blood flow in the brain, which can help in the assessment of several neurological conditions.
Dopamine & tumour imaging
⁹⁹ᵐTc-TRODAT imaging looks at the dopamine transporter, and brain SPECT-CT can help assess tumour viability and radiation necrosis.
Your doctor will advise which study is appropriate for your clinical question.

When It May Help
Supporting neurological assessment.
Your neurologist or treating doctor recommends imaging based on your clinical needs.
Movement disorders
TRODAT imaging may help in assessing the dopamine system when Parkinsonian symptoms are being evaluated.
After brain tumour treatment
SPECT-CT may help your team tell tumour activity from treatment effect such as radiation necrosis.
Planning next steps
Findings are one part of the information your team uses to plan your care.
Your Visit, Step by Step
Know what to expect. Feel more prepared.
What happens during a gamma camera or SPECT-CT visit.
- 01

After your visit
The team explains the next steps and reporting process.
The exact process depends on your scan and clinical needs.
Before Your Visit
Preparing for your visit.Simple steps.
What to discuss with the team
Your referral & previous scans
Bring the referral, neurology notes, and earlier MRI, CT or EEG reports where available.
Medicines
Tell the team about all medicines. Some can affect certain brain studies, so the team will advise you, and you should not stop any on your own.
Resting before the tracer
You may be asked to rest quietly in a calm, low-light room around the time of the injection.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding & allergies
Let the team know before your appointment.
Guidance tailored to you
Preparation varies by study. Contact the team if you are unsure about any instruction.

FAQs
Common questionsabout brain SPECT-CT.
Answers to questions patients and families often ask before a brain study.
Still have questions?Speak to our team for guidance before your visit.
For some brain studies, noise, light and activity can change how the tracer is distributed, so a calm environment helps the images reflect your resting state.
Do not stop any medicine unless your doctor advises. Some medicines can affect particular studies, and the team will tell you if anything needs to change.
Yes, you will be asked to keep your head still while images are acquired. The team will help you stay comfortable.
The time varies by study. The team will tell you what to expect when arranging your appointment.
Nuclear medicine studies use a small amount of radioactivity and the team follows radiation safety practices. Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you might be.
Your referring doctor will usually discuss the findings with you. Contact the team about when your report will be available.
