<strong>Planar</strong> <strong>Scintigraphy</strong>• Capture the emitted gammaphotons (one at a time) in asingle direction• <strong>Imaging</strong> principle:– By capturing the emittedgamma photons in oneparticular direction, determinethe radioactivity distributionwithin the body– On the contrary, X-rayimaging tries to determine theattenuation coefficient to thex-rayEL5823 Nuclear <strong>Imaging</strong> Yao Wang, <strong>Polytechnic</strong> U., Brooklyn 12
