Nuclear Medicine uses radioactive elements (radioisotopes) to produce a
picture since they naturally emit gamma rays which are detected by a special
camera. The isotope attaches to a carrier substance which accumulates in the
part of the body being scanned (thyroid, kidney, bones, etc.).Types of Studies - All Nuclear Medicine Studies can be done in SPECT, QUANTITATED, or FLOWED
