Nuclear Imaging
Nuclear medicine is a specialty of medical imaging that uses radioactive pharmaceuticals to help detect the presence of disease or injury. Nuclear medicine patients are given a radioactive compound that travels through the body to the specific area being studied. A gamma camera is used to create images that provide information about the structure and function of most organ systems in the body.
