| umls-concept:C0182349 | skos:definition | SPN: A positron camera is a device intended to image the distribution of positron-emitting radionuclides in the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories.,SPN: An emission computed tomography system is a device intended to detect the location and distribution of gamma ray- and positron-emitting radionuclides in the body and produce cross-sectional images through computer reconstruction of the data. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories.,UMD: Scanning systems that detect back-to-back gamma ray (photon) emissions as the result of the combination of an emitted positron and a free electron and that use computerized processing to generate in vivo cross-sectional images of an administered positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical.
