ABSTRACT:
A method in nuclear medicine of obtaining a truncation-corrected image of a patient's body, according to which the patient's body is placed on a bed of a nuclear medicine machine including at least one detector head equipped with a detection surface of nuclear rays; a first truncated image in projection of the patient's body is acquired; a second image in projection of the patient's body at an angular position of the first truncated image in projection is acquired. An item of information from the second image is introduced in the first image (P1) with a view to correcting it in its truncated part. The invention applies, in particular, to tomographic examinations.
