Paper Abstract
Nuclear imaging is a powerful diagnostic modality which obtains images from the intact body through the administration of miniscule amounts of physiologically specific radioactive agents (Table I). Typical radiation dosages do not exceed one rad to the critical organ, and the small molar concentrations of the pharmaceutical used mitigates carrier effects and poses no recognized hazards due to toxicity. With exception of imaging of the thryoid by fluorescent excitation of iodine, nuclear images reflect the very recent history of distribution of a physiologically specific agent or its selective uptake.
