An Overview of Nuclear Medicine

If you’re a medical professional, you’re already familiar with ultrasound equipment, which uses sound waves to allow doctors to view internal organs. Much like ultrasounds, imaging tests may also be done with nuclear medicine equipment. Nuclear medicine refers to diagnostic tests and treatments that use small amounts of radioactive materials. Nuclear medicine allows doctors to see the anatomy of the body and understand how various parts function.

Basics of Nuclear Imaging

• Like an ultrasound, an imaging test performed with radioactive materials is non-invasive. The radioactive materials used have a short half-life, so the body does not harbor them for long. They are also administered in small dosages to optimize patient safety. However, pregnant women should have an ultrasound or other non-nuclear imagining test instead. A doctor may request that you undergo nuclear medicine imaging to detect problems like tumors, aneurysms, blood cell disorders, and organ malfunctions.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

• For a PET scan, the technician will give you an intravenous radioactive tracer, which circulates throughout your body. After allowing an hour for the tracer to fully circulate, you will lie on a table that slides into a large scanner. The PET scanner produces 3-D images to allow the doctor to check brain function, blood circulation, and signs of cancer.

Cardiovascular Imaging

• Cardiovascular imaging allows the doctor to see the flow of blood. You may be injected with a radioactive tracer, asked to run on a treadmill, and then rest. The doctor uses the results to identify potentially blocked arteries.

Nuclear Treatment

• Nuclear medicine differs from ultrasound and similar imaging techniques in that it can be used to treat certain conditions. For example, radiation is often used to treat cancer, while high-intensity x-rays or radioactive devices induce cell death in tumors. The radiation targets the cancer cells because they tend to multiply rapidly.

If your practice requires used ultrasound equipment or preventative maintenance for nuclear equipment, Global Medical Imaging is here to help. Give us a call at (888) 694-7091 to speak with a representative. You could also visit our website to learn more about our ultrasound products and services.
