Often the key to early detection, diagnosis, and
treatment...
Nuclear medicine helps to diagnose and treat disease by imaging organs
and structures in the body. It is a safe, painless method to gain vital
information, often in early disease state, that might otherwise be missed
or require more extensive and costly procedures. Nearly all of the major
organ systems may be imaged safely with nuclear medicine.
Radioactive materials or radiopharmaceuticals are introduced that are
attracted to specific organs, bones, or tissues. This material then can
be detected externally by special cameras - gamma or PET cameras.
