A nuclear medicine scan is also known as nuclear imaging or radionuclide imaging. To create pictures of tissues, bones, and organs inside the body, it uses a small amount of radiation. The specific type of nuclear scan depends on which organ the healthcare provider wants to look into.
Nuclear medicine imaging test is an advanced non-invasive, painless, safe diagnostic test. Ganesh Diagnostic and Imaging centre provides PET CT scan and Gamma Camera nuclear medicine radiology at an affordable price.
At Ganesh Diagnostic and Radiology hospital in Delhi, our centre is well equipped with sophisticated and advanced machines like Gamma Camera, 128 Slice CT scan, 3T MRI, Digital X-Ray and advanced pathology lab.
Our experienced team of radiologists and pathologists provides detailed information about the body structural and disease-related changes.
Nuclear medicine doctors can diagnose some diseases and conditions like abnormal lesions and the nature of tumours. Nuclear imaging is also used to detect the organs whether they are functioning normally or not. For example nuclear medicine imaging can detect whether the weather heart can pump blood adequately or not and can detect the functioning of brain, kidney and liver.
The commonly used nuclear medicine scans are Thyroid scan TC-99M, DTPA renal scan, Spect brain scan, DMSA scan, salivary gland imaging, Stress thallium and Bone Dexa Scan.
Gamma camera (SPECT): A New cutting-edge technique, Gamma camera machine is available in Delhi. However, the energy emitting source is introduced into the body in the form of radioactive medicine. The medicine is accumulated in the specific area or organ that is detected by the gamma camera to provide information on organ function and cellular activity. This advanced scan is used to detect the change in the brain, heart, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys and skeleton. The SPECT provides 3 D cross sectional images of the body that can be evaluated in different directions.
Nuclear Medicine PET-CT: A highly advanced PET-CT scan or PET (Positron Emission Tomography) nuclear medicine test that is used to examine the metabolic activity of the cells of the body. It is used to diagnose a variety of conditions like cancer, heart disease and brain disorders.

The patient is advised to wear loose clothes and remove jewelry and any other metal accessories.
The patient needs to lie on a table under a gamma camera. Patients need to lie still on a diagnostic table and pictures are taken at a constant rate with the gamma camera.
The gamma camera detects the gamma rays produced by the radiopharmaceutical drug which is injected into the patient's body.
A gamma Camera also known as scintillation camera or Anger Camera, is a machine which uses gamma radiation emitting radioisotopes, a technique known as scintigraphy.
An X-ray or CT image is created by ionising radiation (X-rays) that enter the body but do not originate there, whereas an image created by nuclear medicine is created by ionising radiation (typically gamma rays) that are released from within the body.
DTPA Renal scan is one kind of nuclear imaging test that is a kidney scan. This test is done to evaluate the kidney functioning.
