The application of hybrid devices that is fused technologies is getting more and more important in the field of imaging diagnostics. The greatest advantage of this method is the combined use of several modalities, which can provide data about the morphological, functional and possibly molecular changes in different diseases simultaneously. In this paper the potentials, advantages and applicabilities of SPECT/CT (single photon emission computer tomograph/computer tomograph) are summarized mainly in oncological diseases but in other diseases as well. Multimodality devices detecting functional and morphological abnormalities simultaneously increase the specificity and diagnostic accuracy of nuclear medicine methods and therefore the effectiveness of therapy too...
