Yes and no. The Gamma Camera uses Gamma Radiation to see through dense tissue in order to pick up irregularities withing the body. Letting your body be willingly assaulted with Gamma Radiation would not be good in the long run. These procedures are done carefully and all risks are outweighed by the benefits. In conclusion, if you get scanned using this machinery at the doctor, you will be fine. Long and sustaining exposure will undoubtedly kill you, or cause you great harm.
The potential dangers associated with the use of a gamma ray gun include radiation exposure, which can lead to serious health issues such as radiation sickness, cancer, and genetic mutations. It is important to handle gamma ray guns with caution and follow safety protocols to minimize the risks of exposure.

Gamma camera is used to give an image of the body, based on the gamma rays coming from radionuclide inside the body.

Roscoe Koontz is famous for inventing the pinhole gamma ray camera.
Radionuclide
Gamma rays can cause serious tissue damage and radiation sickness in humans if exposure is high enough. Long-term exposure to gamma rays can also increase the risk of developing cancer due to their ability to damage DNA in cells.

gamma globulin
Gamma camera is the common equipment used in nuclear medicine to detect various diseases.Technique used is scintigraphy(detecting amount of radiation emitted) of gamma emission and the intensity is used as images.These images are interpreted by radiologist or nuclear medicine specialists.Common indication for such a study is cancer detection especially bone metastasis.SPECT is a modification.PET(Positron emission Tomography) machine can be made incorporating gamma camera.
