Abstract :
The application of nuclear engineering discussed in this paper relates to digital processing of images formed by the detection of gamma radiation retained in various organs in the body after the injection of radio-pharmaceuticals. These images are presented in a color photograph display to aid diagnosis and minimize system artifacts.
