This is a specialised scanning method using very small amounts of low-level radioactive isotopes injected into the bloodstream.
Once administered these radioactive tracers can localise to specific organs where the scanner, called a gamma camera, is used to measure the radiation levels given off from the isotopes. The technique often demonstrates diseases before other conventional scans such as X-rays and ultrasound.
