The video was filmed at the department of Nuclear medicine of the Onchological Institute of the Clinical Center of Ljubljana and it follows the entire schintigraphy procedure:
-
The preparation of the pharmacological agent
- The injection of the radioisotope and its journey inside the veins
- The submission of the body to the gamma camera
- The detection and transferring of physical data into digital format
It last for about 7 and half minutes and it is usually showed as an introduction to the installation in an adjoining space.
With the purpose of emphasizing the effect of the isotope on the body, tx-transform, a cinematography technique which transposes the time axis (t) and space axis (x) one with another, has been used.
The sound track has been produced by mixing samples of sounds exclusively detected from the human body by using Doppler Ultrasound, EEG, EMG, EKG, EOG and many others techniques.
