What is Nuclear Medicine?

Nuclear Medicine is the use of safe techniques to image the body and treat diseases. The imaging technique is unique, because it provides the physician with information about both structure and function.

Nuclear Medicine Staff

The Nuclear Medicine Services staffs have been extensively trained in this field.

Interpretation of exams are done by a Nuclear Medicine physician/Radiologist on call, and reported.

All technologists were extensively trained and hold certifications in one of two following organizations:

• Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB)
• The American Registry of Radiological Technologist (ARRT)
