Gamma camera

A gamma camera is a medical imaging device used to visualize how organs and tissues in the body are functioning. It detects gamma rays emitted from a radioactive substance introduced into the body, often through injection or ingestion. The camera captures these gamma rays and creates detailed images, helping doctors diagnose conditions like cancer, heart disease, or infections. Essentially, it acts like a specialized camera that scans inside the body to show how different parts are working, rather than just their structure, providing valuable insights for medical assessment and treatment planning.
