Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine is the medical specialty, where a trace amount of radio-isotopes is used for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. These non-invasive and safe procedures (scans) allow diagnosis in the initial phase of the disease at the molecular level – well before they are detected by other diagnostic tests.
