NUCLEAR MEDICINE IMAGING

Nuclear Medicine Studies involve making the patient temporarily radioactive, with a very small amount of an isotope. The images are obtained by looking for the small amount of radioactivity given off by the patient. By choosing the right isotopes and attaching them to physiologic molecules, the radioactivity (and the image) can be isolated to reveal certain organs and tissues (like imaging the thyroid with a radioactive Iodine scan).
