Florbetapir F18 is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in PET scans to detect beta-amyloid plaques in the brain, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease. This specific service refers to a single study dose of up to 10 millicuries.

Nuclear medicine studies of the heart involve two parts: rest and stress. During rest, images are taken of your heart at ease. During stress, images are taken after exercise or medication-induced stress. SPECT is a special imaging technique providing 3D pictures of your heart, helping identify any issues.

Rubidium Rb-82 is a radioactive drug used in a PET scan to help visualize the heart. It helps detect areas with poor blood flow, aiding in diagnosing heart conditions. The dose is up to 60 millicuries per study.

Piflufolastat F-18 is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in PET scans. It helps visualize certain cells in your body, aiding doctors in diagnosing specific conditions. This service involves injecting 1 millicurie of the agent into your body.

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.

Iodine 1-123 Ioflupane is a diagnostic procedure where a small radioactive substance is introduced into your body. It helps to create clear images of your brain, specifically to study the functioning of your brain's nerve cells.

This is a diagnostic test where a tiny amount of radioactive material is used to examine your heart's blood flow at rest & during stress, alongside a CT scan for detailed images. It helps identify any heart-related issues like blockages or damage.

Technetium Tc-99m Sestamibi is a diagnostic test used to create images of your heart or breast tissues. It involves a safe radioactive substance injection that helps doctors to detect any abnormalities or changes in these tissues.

Technetium Tc-99m Medronate is a diagnostic procedure that uses a small amount of radioactive material to examine the health of your bones. It helps to detect bone diseases or abnormalities. The procedure is safe, with the radioactive substance naturally leaving your body after the test.

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.

Florbetaben F18 is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in PET scans to detect amyloid plaques, often found in Alzheimer's patients. A dose of up to 8.1 millicuries is administered for each study.

A Nuclear Medicine Study with a CT Scan is a diagnostic procedure. It uses a small amount of radioactive substance and a CT scan to create detailed images of your body. These images help doctors diagnose, monitor, and treat various conditions.

A nuclear medicine study of the brain with metabolic evaluation involves using a safe radioactive substance and special imaging to assess brain function. It helps identify changes in brain metabolism that can indicate certain disorders.

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.

Technetium Tc-99m sulfur colloid is used in diagnostic imaging tests. It helps to highlight areas of concern in the body by emitting a small amount of radiation that can be detected by a special camera. This helps doctors to diagnose and monitor various health conditions.

Technetium Tc-99m is a radioactive tracer used in medical imaging. In this procedure, red blood cells are labeled with this tracer, then reintroduced to your body. The tracer allows doctors to track blood flow and detect abnormalities, like aneurysms or tumors.

A nuclear medicine study of the liver and bile duct system involves injecting a safe, radioactive substance into the body. This substance helps create images of these areas on a special camera. It's often combined with drug use to improve image clarity and aid in diagnosing various conditions.

Technetium Tc-99m Mebrofenin is a diagnostic test used to assess your liver function. A small amount of a radioactive substance is injected into your body, which helps create images of your liver for detailed examination. It's safe and essential for accurate diagnosis.

Sincalide injection, containing 5 micrograms of the active ingredient, is a procedure used to stimulate your digestive system. It helps in assessing gallbladder function or diagnosing issues related to the pancreas or bile ducts. It's a safe, quick procedure.
