MeSH Heading: Radionuclide Imaging
Tree Number(s): E01.370.350.710; E01.370.384.730
Unique ID: D011877
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011877
Annotation: IM general only; coordinate NIM with anatomical term or disease term /‌diag image
Scope Note: The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
