Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that uses safe, painless, and cost effective techniques both to image the body and treat disease. Nuclear Medicine imaging is unique in that it documents organ function and structure, in contrast to diagnostic radiology, which is based upon anatomy. At Ottawa Regional Medical Center, nuclear scans are used to help diagnose diseases of the thyroid, bone, lung, liver, gallbladder, or heart. It is a way to gather medical information that may otherwise be unavailable, require surgery, or necessitate more expensive diagnostic tests. Nuclear Medicine imaging procedures often identify abnormalities early in the progression of a disease before the condition is apparent with other diagnostic tests. This early detection permits prompt treatment and a more successful outcome.
