Nuclear medicine
Nuclear medicine uses radioactive isotopes to picture or photograph organs of the body. It is a way to safely and effectively determine if an organ is functioning properly. Nuclear imaging is often used to view the structure of the main organs and tissues, such as:
- Brain
- Heart
- Kidneys
- Liver
- Lungs
- Thyroid
- Bone
Nuclear medicine images can assist physicians in analyzing blood flow and diagnosing diseases. Tumors, infection, and other disorders can be detected by evaluating organ and cardiac function using nuclear medicine.
Nuclear medicine is unique because it provides doctors with information about both structure and function. Nuclear medicine specialists use safe, painless, and cost-effective techniques to image the body and treat various diseases.
