Whole-body nuclear scanning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whole-body nuclear scanning is a medical imaging technique where the whole body is scanned, contrary to, e.g., neuroimaging where only the brain is scanned. Whole-body nuclear scanning may refer to several different modalities:
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, also known more commonly as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • But normally it would probably refer to a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique such as:
  • Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
  • Positron emission tomography (PET)
