it is used to take a images like heart imaging, kideney imaging etc.,
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
The advantages are, well.... To take photos!
Advantages of a conventional camera include the fact that they usually take better pictures. The images and colors are better on a traditional camera.

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.

A gamma camera, also known as a scintillation camera, detects gamma radiation emitted from radioactive tracers administered to a patient during nuclear medicine procedures. When gamma rays interact with the camera's scintillation crystals, they produce flashes of light, which are then converted into electrical signals by photomultiplier tubes. These signals are processed to create images that represent the distribution of the radioactive tracer in the body, allowing for the assessment of various physiological functions and the diagnosis of conditions. The resulting images can provide valuable information about organ function and blood flow.
