Dans le cas de l'imagerie en médecine diagnostique nucléaire, le rayonnement émis par le produit radiopharmaceutique (ingéré, inhalé ou injecté) est mesuré par un détecteur externe comme un appareil à rayons gamma ou un scanneur à tomographie par émission de positons (TEP). 1, record 1, French, - imagerie%20en%20m%C3%A9decine%20diagnostique%20nucl%C3%A9aire

The problems with projection imaging can be overcome by acquiring tomographic data with a rotating gamma camera and then correcting for attenuation in a tomographic reconstruction. This method is called single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT). 1, record 2, English, - rotating%20gamma%20camera
