What is Nuclear Medicine?
Our Nuclear Medicine Techniques
Cardiac Amyloid SPECT
The Cardiac Amyloid SPECT is a critical imaging test used to detect a specific type of cardiac amyloidosis called ATTR-CM (transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy). This condition often goes undiagnosed due to its subtle symptoms but can lead to significant cardiac complications. Our SPECT imaging provides a non-invasive method to effectively visualize and assess the presence of amyloid proteins, facilitating timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Brain FDG PET
Our Brain FDG PET scans are essential for evaluating neurological conditions, including differentiating types of dementia and determining recurring brain cancer from scar tissue. This procedure uses a radioactive glucose compound to image brain activity and metabolism. By observing how the brain uses glucose, physicians can understand various brain functions and abnormalities, providing invaluable insights into the patient’s neurological health and aiding in the assessment of ongoing treatment efficacy.
PSMA PET
The PSMA PET scan is a specialized imaging technique used to detect prostate cancer anywhere in the body. This advanced procedure utilizes a radioactive tracer that binds to the Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), allowing for precise visualization of prostate cancer cells. PSMA PET scans enable early detection, accurate staging, and effective monitoring of prostate cancer, guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes.
