Radioactivity Bohr’s atomic model
Radioactivity Isotopes
Radioactivity 1. αdecay 2. β- decay 3. β+ decay
Radioactivity 4. Electron capture 5. γemission Z N
Radioactivity Law of radioactive decay Law of attenuation
Cyclotron particles passing through the gap are accelerated increase in velocity and mass result in spiral path
Scintigraphy gamma emitters 99Mo → 99mTc + β⁻ + νe 99mTc → 99Tc + γ
Gamma camera principle of anger camera
Scintillators Organic crystals, Organic liquids Anorganic crystals, Plastic
SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography)
SPECT camera Multiple angles 3-6 degrees ca 15-20 sec per angle
SPECT camera Pinhole SPECT
PET (Positron Emission Tomography)
β+-decay Annihilation Positron (e+) Electron (e-) Neutrino (ν) p → n + e+ + e+ + e-→ 2 Eγ = 511 keV Angle = 180°
