ABSTRACT:
A nuclear medical apparatus for obtaining a distribution of a radioisotope in a subject by administering to a subject a radioactive medicine labeled with a radioisotope, detecting gamma rays given off from the radioisotope in a gamma-ray detecting section and counting the detected gamma rays in a count section. A correcting section is provided to correct for a count taken at the count section, by use of collection efficiency data determined according to the gamma-ray detecting section and an energy the gamma rays possesses.
