Nuclear
Nuclear imaging is the most recently developed form of medical imaging.
In 1976 John Keyes developed the first nuclear imaging device called SPECT, short for Single Photo Emission Computed Tormography.
The first practical application of nuclear imaging was developed in 1978. Scientist David Goldenberg used nuclear imaging to detect tumors.
1983 marked the date of the first use of nuclear imaging to process brain images.
The first SPECT camera was shipped in 1995, marking the official release of nuclear imaging.
In 1998 nuclear Positron Emission Testing, PET, devices were used to test the cancerous effects of chemotherapy operations.
Nuclear imaging combined with magnetic in 2008 with the development of a hybrid PET/MRI system.
Hybrid PET/MRI Device
Nuclear imaging devices such as the SPECT and PET allow doctors to view the brain and cells in a way that’s impossible with other imaging techniques.
