The Nuclear Medicine Examination

icon-meetradiologistNuclear medicine is a method of imaging the body using radioactive materials. Highly skilled professionals use special equipment and procedures to learn how certain organs function and to diagnose and determine the extent of diseases. The radioactive material is introduced into the body by injection, inhalation, or by swallowing. After the radiation has had time to travel to the body part of interest, the imaging or scan begins.

SPECT Imaging

All Wake Radiology Diagnostic Imaging’s Nuclear Medicine departments are fully SPECT (Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography) capable. Using SPECT, we are able to provide 3-D computer-reconstructed images of multiple views and function of the organ being imaged, providing a much higher degree of resolution and accuracy than with traditional planar imaging.
