Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that diagnoses and treats diseases through the use of radioactive isotopes. This technology makes significant contributions in many areas such as early diagnosis of diseases, monitoring treatment responses and providing personalized treatment plans to patients. As Enodia Health, we try to manage patients' health problems in the best way possible by using innovations and the latest technology in the field of nuclear medicine.
Nuclear Medicine Applications
- Radiopharmaceuticals and Imaging Studies: Nuclear medicine imaging techniques use radioactive isotopes to examine the internal structure of the body. These imaging methods include single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). These techniques are used in the diagnosis and follow-up of many diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, brain diseases and bone problems.
- Radioactive Treatment: Nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive substances in the treatment of some types of cancer. This treatment method can be used to shrink or destroy tumors by targeting cancer cells. Examples include radioactive iodine therapy (thyroid cancer), radioembolization (liver cancer), and radiotherapy (metastatic bone cancer).
- Evaluation and Treatment of Thyroid Diseases: Nuclear medicine plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction. Radioactive iodine therapy may be used to treat thyroid cancer or an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
- Evaluation of Bone and Joint Diseases: Nuclear medicine is widely used in the diagnosis and follow-up of bone and joint diseases. Bone scintigraphy is a common nuclear medicine imaging study used to evaluate bone tumors, metastases, infections, and other bone diseases.
