What is a "gamma camera"?
A gamma camera is a medical imaging device used to detect and visualize gamma radiation emitted from a patient's body after they have been injected with a radioactive tracer. It creates images that show how the tracer is distributed within the body, helping doctors diagnose and evaluate conditions related to organs and tissues. Gamma cameras are commonly used in nuclear medicine to assess conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and bone disorders.
