Nuclear Med / PET

Nuclear Med / PET – Nuclear medicine procedures use radiopharmaceuticals (isotopes). In diagnosis, radioactive substances are administered to patients and theradiation emitted is detected by photo multiplier tubes. The diagnostic tests involve the formation of an image using a gamma camera or positron emission tomography (PET). Nuclear medicine differs from most other imaging modalities in that the tests primarily show the physiological function of the organs being investigated as opposed to traditional anatomical imaging. PET-CT is a device which combines in a single gantry system both a PET and an X ray CT, so that images acquired from both devices can be taken sequentially.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nuclear medicine, in a sense, is “radiology done inside out” or “endoradiology” because it records radiation emitting from within the body to show function(s) of various organs. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography or SPECT and Positron Emission Tomography or PET scans are the two most common imaging modalities in nuclear medicine
