Abstract
The spectacular development of scanning techniques is traced from the very simple beginning of manual spot counting, in 1947, to the sophisticated techniques of the present day. The main fundamental advances in instrumentation: the development of scintillation counter and of automation in conventional scanning devices, and the construction of the first gamma camera, were completed in the first 12 years. This was followed by a period of consolidation. In the last ten years the advances have been mainly in the use of new radiopharmaceuticals, particularly the generators, and in computer techniques.
