    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine Technology

    Background:

    • Gamma cameras are essential diagnostic tools in nuclear medicine.
    • Evaluating the performance of available gamma camera systems is critical for clinical application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present performance data for seven currently available gamma camera systems.
    • To guide the selection of gamma cameras based on clinical priorities and performance metrics.

    Main Methods:

    • Performance data compilation from DHSS and NEMA standards where applicable.
    • Comparative analysis of gamma camera specifications and reported results.

    Main Results:

    • Performance figures for seven gamma cameras are detailed.
    • No single gamma camera is universally superior for all nuclear medicine applications.

    Conclusions:

    • Gamma camera selection requires careful consideration of clinical priorities alongside performance data.
    • Factors beyond basic performance, such as cost and reliability, are vital for purchasing decisions.
