nuclear
medicine research |

Anatomical
modalities like mammography and computed
tomography are
used to study the morphology or structure of the body, but
nuclear medicine uses radio- |
active
tracers to probe the physiology or function. Because these tracers
can be exquisitely specific, making only a single chemical species
in the body radioactive, nuclear medicine is the prime example
of molecular medicine. Research
in nuclear medicine ranges from development of new tracers to
technological development of new gamma-ray
imaging systems to application in clinical medicine and basic
biomedical research. |
