Nuclear Medicine
What is Nuclear Medicine ?
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive materials, known as radiopharmaceuticals, to diagnose and treat various diseases and conditions. It involves the use of radioactive substances in the form of injections, oral administration, or inhalation, which emit gamma rays or positrons from within the body. These emissions are then detected by special cameras or scanners, allowing physicians to obtain images and functional information about organs and tissues.
Here’s how nuclear medicine works:
Nuclear medicine provides valuable functional and molecular information that complements other imaging modalities like X-rays, CT scans, and MRI. It allows healthcare professionals to diagnose conditions in their early stages, plan appropriate treatments, and monitor patients’ responses to therapy. As with any medical procedure involving radiation, nuclear medicine is performed with strict safety protocols to ensure minimal exposure and maximum benefit to patients.
