Gamma Camera Gamma Camera

Gamma Camera Gamma CameraIt is a medical device used to image radioactive isotopes that release gamma radiation. It is mainly used to detect and diagnose the distribution of radioactive isotopes in patients' bodies, as well as to evaluate the functional status of organs and tissues.

Gamma Camera Gamma Cameraclinical application

• Cardiovascular disease diagnosis: used for myocardial perfusion imaging to evaluate the degree and scope of cardiovascular disease, which is of great significance for determining coronary heart disease, myocardial ischemia, and infarct size. It can also be used for post stent efficacy evaluation and cardiovascular event risk prediction.

• Diagnosis of orthopedic diseases: bone imaging can be carried out to help detect bone diseases such as fracture and osteoporosis, and evaluate the treatment effect. Bone metastases can also be found 3-6 months earlier than X-ray, which is applicable to bone metastasis screening of malignant tumors such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.

• Thyroid disease diagnosis: Through thyroid imaging, the morphology, size, and functional status of the thyroid gland are visually displayed, which is used to distinguish the nature of thyroid nodules, evaluate the activity of thyroiditis, and detect residual tissue after thyroid cancer surgery.

• Tumor detection and evaluation: used for tumor imaging, observing the location, size, and activity of tumors, assisting doctors in tumor detection and evaluation. The application of new radiopharmaceuticals makes early diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors possible.

• Diagnosis of lung diseases: Lung imaging can be performed to evaluate lung diseases such as pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, etc. by observing the ventilation and perfusion of the lungs.

• Renal function assessment: Used for renal function imaging, it evaluates the health status of renal function by observing the excretion function of the kidneys, and has important diagnostic value for renal artery stenosis, urinary tract obstruction, transplant kidney monitoring, etc.

• Diagnosis of neurological diseases: cerebral blood flow perfusion imaging is used to detect the distribution and metabolism of cerebral blood flow, which has a unique role in the localization of Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy lesions, and evaluation of ischemic penumbra after stroke.
