Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine studies are non-invasive diagnostic and give information about the function of a body's organ systems. A small amount of a radioactive material (radiopharmaceutical) is injected IV for most studies, images are taken of a particular area (bone, heart, kidneys, etc.) using a gamma camera. A Radiologist interprets the studies and a report is sent directly to your doctor. The time involved varies for each test and our technologist(s) will make you comfortable and explain the procedure and what is involved. There are no restrictions after a Nuclear Medicine diagnostic procedure.
