Scintigraphy is a diagnostic imaging technique that utilizes radioactive substances to visualize and assess the function of various organs and tissues within the body. This method is commonly employed in nuclear medicine and relies on the principles of gamma radiation. In a typical scintigraphy procedure, a small amount of a radiopharmaceutical (a radioactive compound) is injected into the patient's body. This substance accumulates in specific organs or tissues depending on its biological properties.
