We are developing imaging techniques utilizing magnetic fields and RI as a new nuclear medicine imaging technique. It is known that changes in perturbed angle correlations are strongly affected by the external field around nuclides. In our study, we apply a magnetic field to distributed nuclides and observe the temporal and spatial changes of the correlations to identify the location of nuclide accumulation. In this study, we applied a static magnetic field to two-photon emitting radionuclides, which are clinically used in SPECT, and quantified the imaging technique.
