Nuclear Medicine uses a radioactive tracer agent to complete such common procedures as a liver screen scan, bone scan and cardiac imaging.
The patient is given a radioactive tracer agent either by mouth (capsules) or intravenous injection. The tracer goes to the organ to be studied and allows it to be imaged with a gamma camera. A gamma camera takes pictures of the radiation photons emitted by the radioactive tracer in the organ and allows the radiologist to determine the nature and extent of the problem. A computer is used to convert the information obtained by the gamma camera to images that are reviewed by the radiologist that specializes in this special area of imaging.
