Nuclear medicine is a primary functioning imaging modality
Uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiopharmecuticals ( combo of
pharmecutical and radionuclide)
Typically emit gmma rays detected by gamma

The perception of visual information has 3 sequential processes
1. Detection
a. If visual information is not detected it cannot be intergrated
2. Recognition
a. Even if visual signals are detected they may be ignored because they are c

Nuclear imaging uses radiopharmaceuticals to image physiological pathways of the body
It is very sensitive ( ie picks up abnormailities easily )
However it is not very specific ( not

The anatomical position allows replication and comparison all round
The term superficial indicates that a structure is located close to the surface of a =ssue, the term
profundal indicates that it is located more deeply
