Close to 14,000 nuclear medicine technologists and 2,700 nuclear medicine physicians practice in the United States. There are roughly 100 kinds of nuclear medicine imaging procedures used to evaluate all organ systems. Nuclear medicine procedures are used to diagnose, manage and treat serious diseases. Test results provide information about both the structure and the function of organ systems. Nuclear medicine testing can identify early abnormalities.
Early detection makes more successful outcomes possible.
More than 10 million nuclear medicine imaging and therapeutic procedures are performed each year in the United States.
