Parent topics
- Computed tomography [r]: An imaging technique that computes three-dimensional representations of an object from a series of two-dimensional x-ray images. [e]
- Nuclear medicine [r]: That medical specialty, or subspecialty, concerned with diagnosis and treatment using radioisotopes administered to the patient [e]
- Nuclear engineering [r]: The field of engineering whose main focus is to use the energy provided by nuclear fission or fusion for practical purposes. [e]
Subtopics
Technology
- Scintillating material [r]: A material that emits distinct bursts of light when struck by ionizing radiation of certain types and energies [e]
- Collimator [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Anger camera [r]: A device used to form images from the bursts of light generated by collimated gamma rays striking a scintillating material, typically in nuclear medicine [e]
- Gantry [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Gantry (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Photomultiplier tube [r]: A specialized application device where solid-state devices have not replaced vacuum tubes, which, while bulky, has extremely high performance in the room-temperature detection of light and converting it to electrical signals [e]
Cardiology
- Myocardial perfusion imaging [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cardiology [r]: The subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with the cardiovascular system [e]
- Myocardial infarction [r]: A heart attack, gross necrosis of the myocardium, resulting from interruption of the blood supply to the area. [e]
- Myocardial ischemia [r]: Reversible reduction in the supply of blood to the heart muscle (i.e., myocardium), commonly causing the pain of angina [e]
- Technetium [r]: A synthetic element, having the chemical symbol Tc, and atomic number (the number of protons) 43. [e]
- Thallium [r]: A chemical element, having the chemical symbol Tl, and atomic number (the number of protons) 81. [e]
