Abstract
The aim of any project which involves the use of radionuclides, is to determine whether or not an organ is functioning correctly. Two areas of great concern at present, are the evaluation of cardiac function and of brain function. Tomographic methods have proved to be very valuable in both cases. The problems encountered have many things in common as well as many differences.
