Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear med­i­cine imag­ing is a diag­nos­tic tech­nique that uses tiny amounts of radioac­tive mate­r­i­al, a spe­cial­ized cam­era, and a com­put­er to cre­ate detailed images of your body’s inter­nal func­tions. This unique approach pro­vides valu­able infor­ma­tion often not obtain­able with oth­er imag­ing meth­ods, aid­ing in the diag­no­sis of var­i­ous can­cers, heart dis­eases, diges­tive, hor­mon­al, neu­ro­log­i­cal dis­or­ders, and oth­er health con­di­tions. By pin­point­ing mol­e­c­u­lar activ­i­ty with­in the body, nuclear med­i­cine can detect dis­eases in their ear­li­est stages, when treat­ment is most effective.
