Scientists have created a perovskite-based gamma-ray detector that surpasses traditional nuclear medicine imaging technology.

A new detector aims to reduce costs while improving the quality of nuclear medicine. Physicians use nuclear medicine techniques such as SPECT scans to observe how the heart pumps, follow patterns of ...

High energy scans or the body looking for tumors or infections could be greatly improved by adopting perovskite detectors ...

Researchers in Japan are developing a medical camera that can simultaneously detect radioactive tracers used for PET and SPECT scans. The team has now demonstrated that the camera can image both ...

Traditional scanners rely on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) or sodium iodide detectors, which are either costly or produce ...

Advancements in healthcare technology - particularly in the surgery category - have led to an increasing adoption of gamma cameras. Further, the numerous developments in radio nucleotides are ...

Researchers invented a Compton camera of 580g which visualizes gamma rays of arbitrary energies, and succeeded in achieving a high-resolution, multicolor 3-D molecular image of a live mouse ...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the utility of a portable gamma camera for intraoperative identification and localization of sentinel nodes during laparoscopic sentinel lymphadenectomy in 55 ...

The images displayed here show what happens when a clinic does not pay attention to quality control. Figure 1 shows a series of images of the lumbosacral spine that are displayed as "slices" that cut ...

Physicians rely on nuclear medicine scans, like SPECT scans, to watch the heart pump, track blood flow and detect diseases hidden deep inside the body. But today's scanners depend on expensive ...
