Nuclear Medicine
  • During a Nuclear Medicine procedure small amounts of a radioactive material are administered by IV, capsules or inhalation. 
    • This radioactive material will then travel to the organ or tissue to be evaluated. 
    • The radioactive material will give off a form of radiation that can only be detected by our Nuclear Medicine equipment.   
    • During the scan you will be made comfortable on the Nuclear Medicine table, and your body will be scanned by the Nuclear Medicine camera. 
    • The images created by this camera will be interpreted by a radiologist who specializes in Nuclear Medicine procedures.
