When the patient returns


When the patient returns, he or she will be brought in to lie down on a machine called a gamma camera, which is circled by a gantry,deck lights global replica watches cheap co jacob replica watch chopard watches replicas buy a replica watch. a large ring that moves up, down and, at least on the newer models, all around the body.

The gantry, Thibeau explains, contains a thin crystal made of sodium iodine with a bit of another medical isotope, thallium. The high-frequency,The deck lighting bulb revolution nearly occurred back in the early 1990s. short-wavelength electromagnetic radiation called a gamma ray hits the crystal, which then emits a small flash of light, multiplied thousands of times by electronic circuitry in the camera.

A graphical tool called a positioning matrix figures out exactly where the gamma camera took its “picture” and recreates the image on the computer.

Leung says this patient has prostate cancer and the test was to see whether it had spread to other parts of the body. The dark patches do not represent the tumours themselves, but rather show where the bones are reacting to the presence of cancerous cells. The test finds the fire by looking for the smoke.
