The Function of a PET scan in Biomedical Diagnostics
The radionuclides that are employed in a PET scan as part of radiopharmaceuticals work best when used for imaging certain physiological properties. Combined with a CT scan or an MRI, a PET scan is good for locating things such as tumours. As a matter of fact, a PET scan can light up for the brain,…

Radionuclide Imaging Techniques
The radionuclide imaging devices place radionuclides, called tracers, within the body. We have 3 types of imaging that include the following: Let’s discuss briefly each of the above listed imaging techniques: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) SPECT uses a radionuclide with relatively longer half-life. (The half-life is the time, it takes half the radionuclides…
