Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that uses safe, painless and cost-effective techniques to document organ function and structure. An integral part of patient care, Nuclear Medicine is used in the diagnosis and management of diseases. Nuclear Medicine uses a very small amount of radioactive materials or radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat disease.
Radiopharmaceuticals are substances that are attached to specific organs, bones or tissues.
