Abstract
In contrast to the structural imaging used to visualize tissues in the body, functional imaging is used to observe biological processes. In the field of nuclear medicine, functional imaging relies on radioisotopes that are tagged to tracers whose biochemical properties cause them to congregate at regions of diagnostic interest in the body.
