Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive substances to diagnose and treat diseases.
The most common tests performed in nuclear medicine are bone scans, thyroid scans, renal scans, and lung scans.
To perform a nuclear medicine scan, the patient is given a small amount of a radioactive substance, either orally, intravenously, or by inhalation. A special camera is then used to detect the radiation emitted by the substance and obtain images of the organ or tissue being examined.
Yes, nuclear medicine tests are safe and do not cause pain or discomfort. The radiation doses used are very low.
The duration of a nuclear medicine scan can vary depending on the type of scan and the organ or tissue being evaluated. In general, scans can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.
