Is a device used to image gamma radiation emitting radioisotopes. Imaging techniques using gamma cameras include scintigraphy and SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography). Scintigraphy is the use of gamma cameras to capture emitted radiation from internal radioisotopes to create two-dimensional (2D) images. The applications of scintigraphy include early drug development and nuclear medical imaging to view and analyse images of the human body or the distribution of medically injected, inhaled, or ingested radionuclides emitting gamma rays. SPECT is a nuclear tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays using gamma cameras. Detector heads are slowly rotated around the subject´s torso. It is very similar to conventional planar imaging using a gamma camera. However, with SPECT  3-dimensional (3D) information is provided as opposed to 2D imaging using scintigraphy. Typically, this information is presented as cross-sectional slices through the subject. In order to obtain images using the gamma camera delivery of a gamma-emitting radioisotope (radionuclide) into the subject is necessary. At the Department of Clinical Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Brendstrupgårdsvej 100, 8200 Aarhus N a Philips gamma camera is available.
