Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of a radioactive material called radiopharmaceuticals, or radiotracers. The radiotracer is injected into the body, swallowed, or inhaled as a gas. It eventually accumulates in the organ or area of the body being examined, and a special camera detects the radioactive emissions from the radiotracer, providing pictures and detailed molecular information. Optimized radiation doses are comparable to that of an x-ray.

Because nuclear medicine procedures are able to pinpoint molecular activity within the body, they offer the potential to identify disease in its earliest stages, as well as a patient’s immediate response to therapeutic intervention.
