When dealing with a diagnosis of cancer or any other sort of degenerative organ disease, doctors often prescribe a special medical procedure to their patients to ensure that the physician knows exactly what they are dealing with. Having their patient go to a nearby hospital that has the specialized nuclear cameras , the doctor can ask that their patient have their internal organs and tissue scanned to reveal the onset of cancer and any subsequent damage that is being done to the cellular makeup of their anatomy. Because cancer mutates the healthy tissue and cells of the body and can spread very rapidly many doctors insist on giving their patients a full body scan that is performed by a gamma camera collimator. Gathering the internal scans of the body with the aid of a nuclear medicine collimator the doctor can more readily identify how much damage has been done by a cancerous growth. Before treatment of a patient can begin a doctor can know exactly what he or she is up against and prepare their patient for the upcoming treatments that will hopefully clear their body of the degenerative illness. Using the technology of harnesses gamma radiation to emit a low level burst of gamma waves from the nuclear medicine collimator, a physician can examine the images that are retrieved on a computer and make the proper diagnosis and recommendations for treatment. In some cases the information gleaned from the nuclear cameras reveal no signs of cancer and can be a great relief to the patients that are facing the prospect of a strenuous diagnosis. Using the nuclear medicine collimator as a precaution to test and screen for a cancerous growth the gamma camera collimator is so sensitive that it can detect the variations of color and form on or around and organ and indicate whether cancer is present or not. Giving an individual the right diagnosis can also aid in their prognosis which may be positive or negative depending upon what information is retrieved by the nuclear cameras that are scanning the a person's internal organs.
