    Abstract: A method is provided including identifying a target portion of a patient corresponding to a portion of interest of the patient to be scanned with a nuclear medicine scanning technique. The method also includes applying an uptake increasing technique to at least one of the target portion or an application portion of the patient other than the target portion. The uptake increasing technique is configured to increase uptake of a radiopharmaceutical to the target portion of the patient relative to portions of the patient other than the target portion. Also, the method includes administering the radiopharmaceutical to the patient temporally proximate to the applying an uptake increasing technique.

    Abstract: An imaging system is provided including a plurality of detector units and a controller. The plurality of detector units are distributed about a bore. The bore is configured to accept an object to be imaged, and the detector units are radially articulable within the bore. The controller is operably coupled to the plurality of detector units and configured to control the positioning of the detector units. The controller is configured to position an external group of the plurality of detector units at a predetermined intermediate position corresponding to a ring having a radius corresponding to a total number of detector units, and to position an internal group of the plurality of detector units radially inside the ring.
