Within the medical community there are specialized pieces of equipment that are designated for the purpose of scanning the human body and conducting screenings for a number of different ailments and diseases. Using a nuclear camera that emits a low level burst of gamma radiation and allows a technician to see inside the body to view the brain or other vital organs, doctors are able to see the extent of any damage that has been done by a cancerous disorder or other debilitating disease. Viewing the image scans that are returned to a computer terminal in a protected room near the nuclear imaging device, doctors are able to examine the patients and determine the best course of action for treating someone that has a confirmed disease. Through the exposure to the gamma radiation (that is harmless to the individual) doctors are able to see what areas of the body have been affected by an illness and how to proceed in treating and caring for the individuals that are suffering from cancer or another debilitating illness. As the camera is capable of penetrating the layers of epidermal tissue without the need for surgery, medical professionals have the capability of viewing the internal organs and muscles. Rendering the images that can help to determine the diagnoses and prognoses of a patient, the technology that incorporates a nuclear camera is a vital component of the treatment of people that have a tumor or polyp that needs to be examined. Used to scan the brain as well as peering into the condition of organs and tissue inside the body, the gamma camera is a nuclear device that has been in use for many decades and continues to provide the images from MRIs and CAT scans that doctors rely on as they are determining or eliminating a number of possible reasons that a patient is sick. Being able to count on the nuclear medicine imaging equipment to provide insight into the condition of a person's health the medical community is able to provide the best care for every person that is entrusted into the hands of doctors and nurses that are committed to the health of their patients.
