Nuclear Medicine

Posted by Insight Medical Imaging on April 29th, 2022

Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radio-pharmaceutical that is injected and then used to provide an image of an organ system or a specific part of the body. Nuclear medicine Imaging is performed with a special camera known as a gamma camera. After the injection, imaging is sometimes performed immediately. Other nuclear medicine studies require delayed imaging after a few hours or even overnight. You will be instructed about the specifics during the imaging process itself. Depending on your exam, you may require some preparation. Our customer service expert radiologists at Insight Medical Imaging are here to ensure you are prepared and comfortable for your nuclear medicine exam.

Breast screening helps to assess breast health in men and women. Since breast cancer rarely presents signs or symptoms in its early stages, regular imaging and evaluation are crucial. While mammography is the most recognized form of breast screening, there are additional examinations and interventions your doctor may recommend. Insight Medical Imaging provides a comprehensive range of breast screening services to evaluate breast-related diseases including ultrasound, nuclear medicine, breast MRI, and minimally invasive alternatives to surgical biopsy, such as core needle aspiration, wire localization, and more.
