Nuclear Medicine Imaging Instrumentation
Nuclear medicine is a diagnostic imaging modality that is used to obtain clinical information about most of the major tissues and organs of the body. Diagnostic information is obtained from the way the tissues and organs process radiolabeled compounds (radiopharmaceuticals). The radiopharmaceutical is typically administered to the patient though an intravenous injection. The radiopharmaceutical...
متن کاملInstrumentation in Nuclear Medicine. Volume 2
George Rosen's "From Medical Police to Social Medicine" is a collection of essays he wrote during the past thirty years, ranging, as the title states, from medical police to social medicine. The underlying thesis of many of the essays is that the theories, the policies, and the practices of public health can be understood fully only against the backdrop of the social, economic, and political ch...
متن کاملRecent developments and future trends in nuclear medicine instrumentation.
Molecular imaging using high-resolution single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) has advanced elegantly and has steadily gained importance in the clinical and research arenas. Continuous efforts to integrate recent research findings for the design of different geometries and various detector technologies of SPECT and PET cameras have become the g...
متن کاملThe birth of nuclear medicine instrumentation: Blumgart and Yens, 1925.
In 1925, Hermann Blumgart performed the first diagnostic procedure using radioactive indicators on humans; this first is well recognized. Less well recognized is the fact that Blumgart and his coworker Otto C. Yens, then a medical student, developed the first instrumentation used in a diagnostic procedure involving radioactive indicators. The instrumentation, a modified Wilson cloud chamber, tu...
متن کاملHybrid Phantom Applications to Nuclear Medicine
Annually, many people are irradiated for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Assessment of radiation dose and its related risks to patients are important issues in radiation protection dosimetry. The complex mathematical calculations of the absorbed and effective doses are now done with computers. The calculations are performed with the help of anthropomorphic computational models of human bod...
