A neuroimaging system comprises an electroencephalography (EEG) and a single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) device, which are simultaneously used on a patient. Scan outputs from both EEG and SPECT are processed and displayed to the user, with e.g. EEG packets linked to software analysing gamma camera images. The SPECT device may comprise a collimator, scintillator and gamma camera. A power regulator may feed power to the EEG and SPECT devices at different levels. The neuroimaging system may be portable, i.e. not fixed in a single location and can be moved with minimal set-up. This may allow determination of both functional and structural abnormalities, in a scanner used out of hospital, bringing neuroimaging near to the patient for early intervention. |
