Exploring the Depths of Nuclear Imaging

What is Nuclear Medicine?

Nuclear medicine is a radiology subspecialty that uses radioactive substances to diagnose and treat various diseases. It involves the use of small amounts of radioactive materials to image and assess the function of organs and tissues within the body.
"At our practice, we prioritize timely, accurate, and personalized care for both our patients and referring clinicians. We understand that each medical image represents a real person with family, loved ones, concerns, hopes, and a desire for better health. Our nuclear radiologists approach every image with the same care and attention they would give if the patient were present in our office."

Precision in Every Scan

Our Nuclear Medicine Techniques

In addition to our standard nuclear medicine services, we offer specialized examinations that provide detailed assessments for specific organ and tissue conditions. These advanced techniques deliver precise insights that enable doctors to make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans.
Cardiac amyloid SPECT
Cardiac Amyloid SPECT

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

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 Study

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.

Radiology Patient Testimonials

"My doctor was very thorough to explain what he was going to accomplish. He did not hurry and was very calm, which was good for my nervousness."
