Nuclear medicine: History, Diagnostic medical imaging & Sources of radionuclides

Nuclear medicine (nuclear radiology) is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nuclear imaging is, in a sense, radiology done inside out,[citation needed] because it records radiation emitted from within the body rather than radiation that is transmitted through the body from…
