Abstract
Practically any organ in the body can be studied by means of radionuclide diagnostics. Some organs can be studied by several methods. Most well-known studies are done using the gamma camera installed in the hospital. When a problem is clearly stated and continual feedback is maintained between the radiologist and the doctors in the clinical departments, the possibilities of radionuclide diagnostics become limitless and the assistance in making difficult diagnoses is invaluable.
