Gamma Camera

Functional Imaging Technology The gamma camera generates images by detecting the gamma rays emitted from a low-dose radiopharmaceutical administered to the patient. The Siemens ECAM Signature Series uses dedicated detectors to capture these signals and reconstruct two- or three-dimensional functional images using advanced computer processing. Imaging parameters are determined by the nuclear medicine specialist based on the organ system being evaluated, the clinical indication, and the patient's individual condition. Examination Planning All gamma camera examinations are planned by a nuclear medicine specialist following a comprehensive assessment of the patient's clinical findings and diagnostic needs. The type of radiopharmaceutical, administered dose, and imaging protocol are selected individually for each patient. Imaging Procedure During the examination, the patient is positioned beneath or adjacent to the gamma camera for the required imaging period. The system acquires imaging data non-invasively throughout the procedure. The duration of the examination varies depending on the type of nuclear medicine study being performed.

Key Features

  • Clinical Applications Myocardial perfusion imaging (cardiac perfusion scintigraphy) Bone scintigraphy and skeletal system imaging Renal function and drainage studies Thyroid and other endocrine organ functional imaging Functional imaging for the evaluation of infection, inflammation, and neoplastic processes Other nuclear medicine diagnostic examinations as deemed clinically appropriate by the physician Unlike anatomical imaging, these nuclear medicine procedures provide functional information about the physiological activity of organs and tissues, contributing to the overall diagnostic evaluation.
