Nuclear medicine is a specialised field of radiology that uses radioactive tracers (radiopharmaceuticals) to diagnose and treat medical conditions. It plays a crucial role in cancer staging and diagnosis, detecting heart disease and identifying other abnormalities within the body. Unlike traditional imaging techniques, nuclear medicine provides an extremely sensitive method for detecting cancers and assessing cancer spread. It also enables the accurate localisation of lesions, identification of benign versus malignant lesions, and differentiation from scar tissue. This means more accurate diagnoses and better treatment planning, giving you a clearer picture of your health.
Our system integrates a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner with a 128-slice Computed Tomography (CT) scanner, delivering high-quality images and diagnostic accuracy while minimising radiation exposure.
Key Features:
SharpIR: An image reconstruction technology which provides high-quality imaging
Full body 4D Coverage: Reduces scanning time
ASiR: Dose reduction technology lowers the radiation dose required
PET/CT scans are recommended for patients with high risk of cancers, cancer patients, and patients with medical history of cancers.
