Overview of Imaging Modalities• Planar Scintigraphy– Use radiotracers that generate gammay decay, which generates onephoton in random direction at a time– Capture photons in one direction only, similar to X-ray, but uses emittedgamma rays from patient– Use an Anger scintillation camera• SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography)– Use radiotracers that generate gammay decay– Capture photons in multiple directions, similar to X-ray CT– Uses a rotating Anger camera to obtain projection data from multipleangles• PET (Positron emission tomography)– Uses radiotracers that generate positron decay– Positron decay produces two photons in two opposite directions at atime– Use special coincidence detection circuitry to detect two photons inopposite directions simultaneously– Capture projections on multiple directionsEL5823 Nuclear Imaging Yao Wang, Polytechnic U., Brooklyn 11
