Data Acquisition of Emission Tomographyn Conventional or planar radionuclide imaging suffers a major limitation in the loss of object contrast as a result of background radioactivity. In the planar image, radioactivity underlying and overlying the object of interest is superimposed…
The passage of radiation, such as x-rays and gamma rays, through a given material leads to ionizations and excitations that can be used to quantify the amount of energy deposited. This property allows measurement of the level of intensity of…
In nuclear medicine, radiopharmaceuticals given to the patient emit the radiation used to create images or perform therapy. In order to understand how these agents perform and what safety considerations are involved in their use, it is necessary to be…
Spills of Radioactive Materials Accidental spillage of radioactive material is rare; however, spills may occur in the laboratory, in public areas such as facility hallways, in elevators, or in any hospital room or ward through contamination by patient body fluids.…
