Gallium scans, Gastric Emptying, MUGA scans, and Spect Brain scans are just a few of the scans that were formed, thanks to the nuclear medicine of today. In 1896, a man by the name of Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium penetrating rays were similar to X-rays. This leads to other numerous discovers like the finding of elements polonium and radium, to the cyclotron invented by Ernest Lawrence that included the ability to produce radioisotopes of different elements. This leads to 1946, where…
