Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear medicine imaging uses minor amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers that are usually injected into the bloodstream, inhaled or swallowed. The radiotracer then travels through the area being examined and gives off energy in the form of gamma rays, which are detected by a special camera.
