Nuclear Medicine uses very small doses of radioactive materials to diagnose and treat disease. These materials are attracted to specific organs, bones, or tissues, producing emissions that are then detected by a special type of camera. This camera then transforms these emissions into images that can be read and interpreted by the radiologist.

The amount of radioactive materials introduced into the body is small and is eliminated quickly from the body. The amount of radiation is comparable to that of a traditional x-ray. If you are pregnant or think you may be, you should tell your physician before undergoing any radiological procedure.
