Study Notes

Nuclear Imaging vs Traditional Radiology

Nuclear imaging focuses on functional and molecular processes, whereas traditional radiology focuses on anatomical structures.

Nuclear Medicine Imaging Modalities

Common imaging modalities in nuclear medicine include Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Bone Scintigraphy.

Administration of Radiopharmaceuticals

Radiopharmaceuticals are generally administered intravenously, orally, or via inhalation for diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging.

3D Tomographic Techniques

The 3D tomographic technique commonly used in nuclear medicine imaging is Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).

Scintigraphy in Nuclear Medicine

Scintigraphy ('scint') involves the use of radiopharmaceuticals to produce two-dimensional images of the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body, allowing for the visualization of internal organs and structures.
