Nuclear Medicine

Different than most imaging tests, Nuclear Medicine studies are important in showing the function of specific organs, tissues or bones inside of the body to help diagnose and treat a variety of health problems. Nuclear Medicine studies can be performed on both adults and children.

Using special radiopharmaceutical tracers, these studies are often used to identify abnormalities very early in the progression of a disease – long before some medical problems become apparent. Safe and painless, Nuclear Medicine is a valuable tool to help gather information that may otherwise be unavailable.
