Nuclear Medicine


Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses safe, painless, and cost-effective techniques both to image the body and treat disease. Nuclear medicine imaging is unique in that it documents organ function and structure, in contrast to diagnostic radiology, which is based upon anatomy. It is used in the diagnosis, management, treatment, and prevention of serious disease. (From the SNM - Society of Nuclear Medicine)
