Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body. Highly simplified, a typical procedure would involve discussing the procedure with the patient, injecting the radiopharmaceutical which localizes in the area of interest, then is imaged using a special camera. It is like taking an X-ray from the inside-out.As Medipol Mega University Hospital we are proud to have the top of the line nuclear medicine equipment such as PET / CT, CARDIAC SPECT / CT, SPECT/ CT with updated versions.
