Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A special type of computed tomography (CT) scan in which a small amount
of a radioactive drug is injected into a vein and a scanner is used to make detailed
images of areas inside the body where the radioactive material is taken up by the
cells. Single-photon emission computed tomography can give information about blood
flow to tissues and chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body.; CDISC: A type of tomography in which gamma photon-emitting radionuclides are administered
to the patient and then detected by one or more gamma cameras rotated around the patient.
From the series of two-dimensional images produced, a three-dimensional image can
be created by computer reconstruction.;
