Gamma Ray Imaging

Gamma ray imaging is a technique that uses gamma rays, which are high-energy photons emitted by radioactive substances, to create detailed images of inside the body or materials. In medical applications, it helps visualize organs and detecting abnormalities by tracing substances labeled with radioactive isotopes. The gamma rays emitted are captured by special detectors, which then convert the signals into images. This process provides functional information about tissue activity and structure, aiding in diagnosis and research. It’s a powerful, non-invasive way to see inside complex systems, commonly used in nuclear medicine and scientific research.
