Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that performs diagnosis and treatment of specific pathologies through the use of high technology and radioactive compounds, which provide unique information on diseases in their early stage.
Equipment
PET/CT Discovery IQ 600 (GE):
It is a hybrid technique of Nuclear Medicine, which combines molecular imaging from Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and anatomical imaging from Computed Tomography (CT).
Main indications of PET/CT studies:
- Oncology patients.
- Hematological diseases.
- Cardiac diseases.
- Neurological disorders
- Infectious diseases.
- Inflammatory diseases.
Discovery SPECT/CT Gamma Camera (GE) 670 Pro
It combines Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) technology, with a state-of-the-art diagnostic CT. This equipment allows the correlation of the anatomical image, which significantly increases the quality and diagnostic performance of the studies, by comparing their results with those of conventional scintigraphy.
Main indications of SPECT/CT studies:
- Oncology patients.
- Bone and metabolic diseases.
- Cardiac diseases.
- Gastrointestinal disorders.
- Sports injuries.
- Neurological studies.
- Infectious diseases.
- Renal and urinary tract disorders
Why choose us?
- Safe and minimally invasive procedures
- Early detection of molecular alterations, before conventional anatomical imaging methods.
- Whole-body images that allow a comprehensive study of the patients.
- Early assessment of the response to treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, among others).
- Less radiation than conventional studies in pediatric diseases.
- State-of-the-art technology.
