A camera for taking photographs of parts of the body into which radioactive isotopes have been introduced.
A device that uses the emission of light from a crystal struck by gamma rays to produce an image of the distribution of radioactive material in a body organ. The light is detected by an array of light-sensitive electronic tubes and is converted to electrical signals for further processing. The gamma camera is a workhorse of nuclear medicine departments, where it is used to produce scans of patients who have been injected with small amounts of radioactive materials.
A piece of apparatus for taking photographs of parts of the body into which radioactive isotopes that give off gamma rays have been introduced as tracers.
A scintillation detector used in nuclear medical imaging to detect the release of radioisotopes taken up by diseased and healthy body tissues.
The device is designed to capture and record the gamma radiation emitted by a scanning agent that is concentrated within a particular organ.
Contained within the SPECT machine is a device responsible for generating visual representations of the gamma rays emitted by the radionuclides employed as tracers in the field of nuclear medicine.
A gamma camera is a device used to create diagnostic images in radionuclide scanning. A minuscule amount of a radioactive substance is administered into the body, typically by injection, and is absorbed by the tissues being examined. This camera then detects the radiation emitted by the substance and illustrates its distribution pattern as an image on a monitor.
