What does the equipment used in bone scanning look like?

The equipment that is used for bone scanning is basically the same as the equipment that is used in other general Nuclear Medicine areas, and in Nuclear Cardiology. They are either planar or spec systems, which have gamma camera heads, which collect the gamma rays from inside the patient, and then form an image through a computer.
