  1. What ever happened to single photon scintigraphy?

    Very interesting and comprehensive article. Nonetheless, I was surprised by the complete omission of single-photon imaging, both planar and tomographic. These are powerful techniques with resolution in small animals, such as by microSPECT, superior to that of dual-photon (PET)imaging (though lacking absolute quantification as in PET). These techniques have been used for decades to provide much basic physiologic information by way of imaging and compartmental modeling.
