Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Arun Singh

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Naabhikiya Chikitsaa

Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive substances to examine organ function and structure.

Dozens of different examinations are performed in the Nuclear Medicine Department. The patient gets an intravenous injection of a minute trace of radioactive material which attaches to a certain type of molecule. The type of radioactive tracer and the type of molecule vary, depending on which part of the body is to be examined. Scans are obtained with a gamma camera, which unlike some other radiology devices does not itself emit radiation

Nuclear medicine is a method or modality used to create images of a living object. Radioactive elements are used to tag compounds that are injected into, or ingested by the patient. The labeled compounds are preferentially absorbed by different organs. As the compounds are accumulated the radioactive material is measured creating a 2-dimensional image that spatially indicates the varying concentrations It is a branch of medicine that uses radioactive materials either to image a patient's body or to destroy diseased cells.

Hope this proves somewhat helpful for you.
