Abstract
A nuclear medicine imaging apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention includes a detector, a measuring unit, and an end control unit. The detector is configured to detect radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image. The measuring unit is configured to measure the number of times the detector detects the radiation. The end control unit is configured to control the detector to end the detection operation when the number of times measured by the measuring unit is equal to or less than a threshold value.
Claims10
A nuclear medicine imaging apparatus comprising:
- a detector configured to detect radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image;
- a measuring unit configured to measure the number of times the detector detects the radiation;
- and
- an end control unit configured to control the detector to end the detection operation when the number of times measured by the measuring unit is equal to or less than a threshold value.
A control method comprising:
- detecting radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image;
- measuring the number of times the radiation is detected;
- and
- ending the detection operation when the measured number of times is equal to or less than a threshold value.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that cause a computer to execute:
- detecting radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image;
- measuring the number of times the radiation is detected;
- and
- ending the detection operation when the measured number of times is equal to or less than a threshold value.
