Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (b) Photon

The best explanation: SPECT STANDS for Single Emission Photon Tomography. In this process, the radioactive dyes give out photons which are detected by the detector and forms an image. The photon detector USUALLY has Photo Multiplier Tubes (PMTs) that can AMPLIFY the received impulses from the photon and FORM an image.
