Nuclear Medicine

Overview

The Nuclear Medicine Department specializes in the use of radioactive materials for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Our team of nuclear medicine physicians and technologists provides precise, safe, and patient-centered care using advanced imaging and therapeutic techniques.

Services include PET-CT scans, SPECT imaging, radionuclide therapy for cancer and endocrine disorders, and molecular imaging for cardiac, neurological, and renal conditions. We integrate cutting-edge technology with multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and optimal patient outcomes.

Patient safety, comfort, and education are emphasized throughout the care process. From imaging procedures to radionuclide therapy, our specialists provide guidance, monitoring, and follow-up care to support successful diagnosis and treatment.

Nuclear Medicine helps diagnose and treat cancer, thyroid disorders, cardiac conditions, bone and joint disorders, neurological diseases, and renal abnormalities.

PET-CT combines positron emission tomography with computed tomography to detect and monitor cancer, heart disease, and brain disorders with high accuracy.

Yes, radionuclide therapy is administered under strict safety protocols, ensuring minimal side effects and controlled radiation exposure for therapeutic purposes.

Preparation depends on the type of scan and may include fasting, avoiding certain medications, or staying hydrated. Detailed instructions are provided before each procedure.

Most scans are non-invasive and painless. A small injection or oral intake of a radiotracer may be required, which is generally well-tolerated.
