0:17 Fundamentals of Nuclear Medicine Imaging
10:40 Nuclear medicine is a type of molecular imaging where radioactive pharmaceuticals (often called "radiopharmaceuticals") are used to evaluate the body's functions and processes
24:10 SPECT cameras looks at a patient from many different angles and is able to demonstrate very precise detail within the patient. • Information is presented as a series of planes that correspond to certain depths within the body.
26:24 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is used to study physiologic and biochemical processes within the body • Processes studied include blood flow, oxygen, glucose and fatty acid metabolism, amino acid transport, pH and neuroreceptor densities.
