Scintigraphy ("scint") is the use of gamma cameras to capture
... In order to detect the gamma photon we use scintillation detectors. A Thallium-activated Sodium Iodide [NaI(Tl)] detector crystal is generally used in Gamma cameras. This is due to this crystal's optimal detection efficiency for the gamma ray. A detector crystal may be circular or rectangular. A gam ...
