A nuclear medicine study with a limited area CT scan is a diagnostic procedure. A small amount of radioactive substance is injected into your body, which helps create detailed images of a specific area. The CT scan further enhances these images, providing clearer, more precise results.

A CT scan of the chest without contrast is a non-invasive imaging procedure. It uses special X-ray equipment to produce detailed images of your chest area, including your lungs and heart. It can help diagnose conditions such as lung diseases or heart disorders. It doesn't involve any dyes or contrast agents.

This procedure helps analyze kidney function using a safe radioactive substance and special imaging. The substance is administered through an injection and travels to your kidneys. Images are then taken to assess blood flow and overall kidney function.

A nuclear medicine study of the stomach assesses how quickly food leaves the stomach. A safe, radioactive substance is added to a meal. The radiation emitted is tracked, creating images that show the food's progress through the stomach. It's non-invasive and painless.

Radioactive drug therapy through a vein involves injecting a drug with radioactive properties into your bloodstream. This drug travels throughout your body, targeting and destroying harmful cells, such as cancer cells, while sparing healthy ones. It's a non-invasive procedure to treat certain diseases.

A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is a non-invasive medical test. It uses special X-ray equipment to create detailed images of your abdominal and pelvic areas. This helps doctors examine organs, tissues, and vessels. No contrast dye is used in this procedure.

A nuclear medicine lung ventilation and circulation study uses a safe radioactive material to create images of air and blood flow in your lungs. It helps identify issues like blood clots or lung diseases. You inhale or receive an injection of this material, and a special camera captures the images.

A nuclear medicine study of bone and/or joint whole body involves injecting a small amount of radioactive material into your body. This material travels to your bones and emits energy. A special camera captures this energy, creating images of your bones to help identify any abnormalities.

A nuclear medicine study with SPECT involves a safe, small amount of radioactive substance to help visualize body organs. SPECT, or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, creates detailed 3D images. This helps doctors diagnose and monitor conditions in a specific body area.

A nuclear medicine study of the lymphatic system involves injecting a safe, radioactive substance into your body. This substance travels through your lymphatic system and helps create images on a special camera. These images can help doctors diagnose conditions related to your immune system.
