Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine uses radioactive materials to diagnose and treat diseases. It provides functional information about physiological processes and allows for early detection and treatment of various conditions, including cancers, heart disease, and neurological disorders.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive materials, known as radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers, to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. It offers unique insights into the physiology of the body and its organs, providing information that often cannot be obtained using other imaging procedures. Nuclear medicine includes both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:

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.
