What is Nuclear Medicine?

Nuclear Medicine and Its History
Nuclear Medicine is a medical discipline that uses radioactive drugs (radiopharmaceuticals) in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The functions of organs are displayed physiologically for the diagnosis of various diseases with scintigraphic examinations.

Today, there are nearly 100 different types of nuclear imaging; There is no major organ or system that cannot be visualized with nuclear medicine methods.

Currently, function imaging is performed in diseases related to almost every organ system in universities in our country, in state and insurance hospitals in big cities, and in nuclear medicine departments serving in some private centers. Diagnostic tests performed in these centers are scintigraphic imaging of thyroid, bone, heart, kidney and many other organs and diseases, as well as the treatment of some tumors and inflammatory diseases, especially thyroid diseases.

Commonly Used Techniques in Nuclear Medicine
Planar Image; It gives information about the two-dimensional image of the organ and its function.

SPECT; information about the three-dimensional image and function of the organ is obtained.

PET; While providing information about the function of a specific organ, tumor or any active metabolic area, it also provides three-dimensional imaging.
