MEDICAL IMAGING

Nuclear Medicine Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)

Cross-sectional slices transformed flat nuclear images into detailed 3D maps of body function

0

What key advantage do cross-sectional slices in SPECT provide over traditional planar nuclear imaging?

They reduce the radiation dose required for imaging compared to planar techniques. They offer three-dimensional spatial information allowing precise localization of physiological processes. They eliminate the need for radiotracers by using external gamma ray sources.

Nuclear Medicine Radioiodine Therapy

Radioactive iodine-131 turned a nuclear hazard into a precise thyroid treatment

0

What is the primary advantage of using iodine-131 in radioiodine therapy for thyroid conditions?

It emits gamma rays that penetrate all body tissues equally for widespread treatment. It permanently remains radioactive in the body to provide continuous treatment. It selectively targets thyroid tissue due to the gland's natural iodine uptake.

Medical Imaging Nuclear Medicine

Inside-out imaging reveals the body's hidden functions through radioactive tracers

0

What is the primary advantage of nuclear medicine imaging over traditional radiology techniques?

It uses higher doses of radiation to produce clearer images of anatomy. It provides functional information about how organs and tissues are working, not just their structure. It only captures static images of the body's anatomy without showing physiological activity.

Nuclear Medicine Technetium-99m

The isotope that quietly transformed medical imaging with fleeting flashes of gamma rays

0

Why is Technetium-99m preferred over other radioisotopes for medical imaging?

Because it has a very long half-life, allowing prolonged imaging sessions. Because it emits alpha particles that penetrate deep tissues for better imaging. Because it emits gamma rays with a short half-life, minimizing radiation exposure while providing clear images.

Nuclear Medicine 18F-FDG Accumulation

Tracing metabolic activity in the body through 18F-FDG accumulation reveals hidden disease processes

0

What is the primary reason 18F-FDG accumulates in certain tissues during PET imaging?

Because 18F-FDG binds specifically to cancer cell receptors Because 18F-FDG is a glucose analog taken up by metabolically active cells and trapped after phosphorylation Because 18F-FDG is metabolized completely like glucose providing energy to cells
