Radioactive nuclei that are injected into a patient collect at certain sites within its body, undergoing radioactive decay and emitting electromagnetic radiation. These radiations can then be recorded by a detector. This procedure provides an important diagnostic tool called 

(1) Gamma camera

(2) CAT scan

(3) Radiotracer technique

(4) Gamma ray spectroscopy
