Diagnostic Imaging via Gamma Emission

Molecular classification
Imaging modality, Diagnostic technique
01

Overview

Diagnostic imaging via gamma emission encompasses techniques like SPECT and PET that use radiotracers to visualize and assess physiological processes. These methods involve administering gamma-emitting isotopes that accumulate in specific tissues, followed by the detection of emitted gamma rays to create images reflecting tissue function or pathology. It is a functional and physiological molecular target, relying on the selective uptake, retention, or excretion of radiolabeled molecules.
