A nuclear Medicine Centre is a facility that offers diagnostic and treatment procedures for a certain kind of illnesses including diseases such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, lymphomas, bone pain as well as other types of cancer.It is a wonderful tool to assess the function of a specific organ, and the modality can be used to diagnose anything from a bone fracture to a thyroid dysfunction or cancer.The process primarily involves radioactive formulas that have been prepared to target a specific cell or organ. The formula is injected into the body, after which a person will undergo a scan using gamma camera. The camera will pick up the concentrations of radioactivity in the body in and around specific cells and organs.The nuclear medicine scan complements traditional radiology. However, unlike radiology where you see the structure of an organ, in nuclear medicine you only see the functioning of a targeted set of cells.
