This article presents a new approach for presenting scintigraphic images. The technique combines the conventional plotting the contour lines and the highlighting, by means of hatching, of the concavities (or convexities) of the 'surface' representative of radioactive distribution. The search for the surface features is achieved generally by the method of normal curvatures. An example with a phantom demonstrates the utility of this representation method.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
