Nuclear Medicine
We have a well established nuclear medicine facility run by experienced nuclear medicine physicians.Nuclear medicine is a medical speciality which involves the application of radioactive substances with short half life both in the diagnosis and therapy of diseases including cancer.
Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine
Our hospital offers diagnostic nuclear medicine tests using very small amounts of radioactive materials to create images for what is happening inside your body at a cellular level. Some of the key scans we provide include:
- PET-CT SCANS- To detect cancer, understand its spread ,and monitor treatment response.
- SPECT CT IMAGING- Single photon emission computerised tomography test is used for precise organ and tumor characterization.
- BONE SCANS-For metastatic evaluation to the bones
By utilising radio isotopes that target specific biological pathways, nuclear medicine enables functional imaging at a molecular level, often identified disease processes before structural changes appear. All procedures are performed under stringent safety protocols by trained nuclear medicine specialists supported by physicists and technologists.
Nuclear scans have a wider application in very many benign situations and is useful to diagnose conditions affecting the lungs,GI Tract,thyroid and parathyroid,kidneys and liver and spleen.The facilities all these are possible at our nuclear medicine facility.
