    Nuclear medicine uses radiopharmaceuticals and radiation detectors to produce functional images of organs and tissues. It determines medical problems based on physiology rather than anatomy. Key developments included the discovery of x-rays and radioactivity, invention of the cyclotron to produce radiopharmaceuticals, and development of gamma cameras and PET/CT and SPECT/CT scanners to produce functional images. Pioneers included Roentgen, Becquerel, Curie, de Hevesy, Lawrence, Fermi, Kuhl, Anger, and Cassen.
