What does the word gamma refer to .

Gamma is an English word that is used as a noun to refer to the third letter in the Greek alphabet. It can also be used in examination rankings to refer to the third highest grade. The term can also be used to refer to a magnetic field strength that is equal to 10 oersted.

1. the third letter of the Greek alphabet (Ɣ, γ).

2. the third in a series of items.

3. (cap.) a star that is usu. the third brightest of a constellation.

Group 4: Q1: the third letter of the Greek alphabet ( Γ, γ ), transliterated as ‘g’ relating to gamma rays. "gamma detector" Q2: Yes - diagnose a patient. Q3: It is used for identifying the medical injured, inhaled or ingested radionuclides emitting gamma rays. Q4: A gamma camera, also known as scintillation camera or Anger camera, is a tool used to picture gamma radiation emitting radioisotopes in a practice known as scintigraphy. The functions of scintigraphy comprise of early drug advances and nuclear medical imaging to view and analyse images of the human body or the distribution of medically injected, inhaled or ingested radionuclides emitting gamma rays. Q5: It's a machine that a human being goes into and it scans and takes a picture of your body.

What do the letters SPECT refer to?

Spect is an acronym which stands for single photo emission in computed tomography. It is a procedure where a gamma camera rotates around a patient and takes pictures from various angels. The computer then uses these pictures to form a tomographic or a cross-sectional image.

Is SPECT used in diagnos or treat the patient?

This systematic review evaluated the clinical utility of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in traumatic brain injury (TBI).

What disease is it used on?

traumatic brain injury

How does SPECT work?

After defining a PICO Statement (Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome Statement), PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria were applied to identify 1600 articles. After screening, 374 articles were eligible for review. Inclusion for review was focus on SPECT in the setting of mild, moderate, or severe TBI with cerebral lobar specificity of SPECT findings. Other inclusion criteria were comparison modalities in the same subjects and articles in English. Foreign language articles, SPECT studies that did not include comparison modalities, and case reports were not included for review.

Is the nuclear substance adminstrated from outside the patient, injected or swallowed?

1. A technique in which scintillation counter or similar detector is used with a radioactive tracer to obtain an image of a bodily organ or a record of its functioning

2. Used to diagnose cancer

3. Used to diagnose lung cancer, gallbladder disease and coronary artery disease

4.A harmless radioactive marker is applied intravenously. Within a short period the radioisotope, which is bound to a carrier (Oxidronacid, HDP), accumulates in areas of the skeleton with increased bonemetabolism. These points of radiation also known as hotspots are detected by a special x-ray camera and can be pictured by a computer. Nowadays a general anaesthesia is no longer vital as patients will only be lightly sedated. After the examination the horses have to stay in the clinic for another 48 hours due to the the emission of radiation.

5. It is injected into the body, after sedation

Nuclear medicine is the branch of medicine that uses radioactive substances to diagnose and treat disease

# data[].attributes.body
Nuclear radiation is not always bad. Radioisotopes can cause cancers but are also used in nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat them. Radiotherapy involves directing high, localised doses of radiation to cancer sites by using an external focused beam or a surgical implant, or by swallowing a radioactive medicine.

Rapidly dividing cells such as cancerous cells are more sensitive to nuclear radiation than other cells—they self-destruct if their DNA is damaged. Unfortunately, some nearby healthy cells are also killed, leading to short-term illness and side-effects.
