 Nuclear
Medicine | |

Nuclear medicine specialists use safe, painless,
and cost-effective techniques to image the body
and treat disease. Nuclear medicine imaging is
unique, because it provides doctors with
information about both structure and function.
It is a way to gather medical information that
would otherwise be unavailable, require surgery,
or necessitate more expensive diagnostic tests.
Nuclear medicine imaging procedures often
identify abnormalities very early in the
progress of a disease—long before many medical
problems are apparent with other diagnostic
tests.
Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of
radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) to
diagnose and treat disease. In imaging, the
radiopharmaceuticals are detected by special
types of cameras that work with computers to
provide very precise pictures about the area of
the body being imaged. In treatment, the
radiopharmaceuticals go directly to the organ
being treated. The amount of radiation in a
typical nuclear imaging procedure is comparable
with that received during a diagnostic x-ray,
and the amount received in a typical treatment
procedure is kept within safe limits.
Today, nuclear medicine offers procedures that
are essential in many medical specialties, from
pediatrics to cardiology to psychiatry. New and
innovative nuclear medicine treatments that
target and pinpoint molecular levels within the
body are revolutionizing our understanding of
and approach to a range of diseases and
conditions.
