Nuclear medicine

Radioactive materials are used in nuclear medicine for disease diagnosis and treatment. It enables the early diagnosis and treatment of a number of illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological diseases. It also offers functional information on physiological processes.

Small doses of radioactive elements, sometimes referred to as radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers, are used in the medical specialty of nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses. It provides information that is frequently not possible to collect using conventional imaging modalities, giving unique insights into the physiology of the body and its organs.

Procedures

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans
PET scans are used to assess metabolic activity and function in various parts of the body, often for detecting cancer, evaluating brain disorders (such as Alzheimer's disease or epilepsy), and heart disease.
...
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) Scans
Similar to PET, SPECT scans are used to visualize blood flow and activity in organs. It's commonly used in cardiology to evaluate coronary artery disease and in neurology to assess brain disorders.
...
Bone Scans
Used to detect bone diseases and conditions, such as cancer metastasized to bones, fractures, and infections.
...
Thyroid Scans
Used to assess thyroid function and to detect thyroid nodules or cancer.
...
Renal Scans
Evaluate kidney function and anatomy, including blood flow, filtration, and obstruction.
...
Gallium Scans
Detect active infection or cancer by using the gallium radiotracer.
...
Lung Scans
Assess ventilation and perfusion of the lungs to detect pulmonary embolism or other conditions.
...
Cardiac Stress Tests
Evaluate heart function, blood flow, and identify areas of reduced blood flow.
