A gamma scan works by using a gamma camera to detect and capture the gamma radiation emitted by a radioactive substance inside the body. The camera creates images based on the distribution of the radiation, helping to identify any abnormalities or areas of interest, such as tumors or infections. The scan is non-invasive and provides detailed information about the structure and function of organs or tissues.

What kind of rays emitted in nuclear scan?

It depends on the type of scan but by far the most common scan uses "gamma" rays to get a picture. The radionuclide used is Tc99m which gives off gamma rays at 140 kEV, a very suitable energy level for the cameras used in nuclear medicine.

How is a technetium heart scan done?

The isotope is injected into a vein and absorbed by healthy tissue at a known rate during a certain time period. The radionuclide detector, in this case a gamma scintillation camera, picks up the gamma rays emitted by the isotope.


What brain imaging method requires the injection of a radioactive substance?

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a brain imaging method that requires the injection of a radioactive substance. This substance emits gamma rays that can be detected by a gamma camera to produce detailed images of brain activity.


What willbe the expression for the work of cohesion between water and benzene?

Water and benzene will have a work of adhesion rather than a work of cohesion as this is the work associated with the connection between two things as opposed to cohesion which is the force holding one thing together. The expression for the work of adhesion is: gamma of the liquid vapour interface + gamma of solid vapour interface - gamma of solid liquid interface. Where gamma is surface tension.

Nuclear medicine scan?

For most nuclear imaging studies, radionuclide is injected into the patient and the images are taken with a gamma camera suspended above the patient who will be lying on a table. The camera detects the gamma rays emitted from the radionuclide in the patient's body and uses this information to produce an image that shows the distribution of the radionuclide within the body. The image is recorded on film and is called a radionuclide scan.
