    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…
