WHAT DOES SCINTIGRAPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scintigraphy

Scintigraphy

Scintigraphy is a form of diagnostic test used in nuclear medicine, wherein radioisotopes are taken internally, and the emitted radiation is captured by external detectors to form two-dimensional images. In contrast, SPECT and positron emission tomography form 3-dimensional images, and are therefore classified as separate techniques to scintigraphy, although they also use gamma cameras to detect internal radiation. Scintigraphy is unlike a diagnostic X-ray where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.

Definition of scintigraphy in the English dictionary

The definition of scintigraphy in the dictionary is a diagnostic technique using a radioactive tracer and scintillation counter for producing pictures of internal parts of the body.
