Nuclear Medicine doctors on MedOmeet

Doctors appear here when their clinic or hospital uses MedOmeet. There are no nuclear medicine listings right now.

PET/CT Scan for Cancer Staging

Whole-body imaging using radioactive glucose to detect cancer cells anywhere in the body. Essential for staging and treatment response assessment.

Thyroid Cancer — Radioiodine Therapy

Radioactive iodine (I-131) treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer after surgery. One of the most effective targeted cancer treatments.

Bone Scan

Whole-body skeletal imaging to detect bone metastases, stress fractures, osteomyelitis, and metabolic bone disease.

Cardiac Nuclear Imaging

Myocardial perfusion scan (SPECT/MPI) to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle — detects coronary artery disease without invasive angiography.

Renal Scan (DTPA/DMSA)

Functional kidney imaging to assess individual kidney function, drainage, and scarring. Not replaced by CT or ultrasound.

Before Your Visit

Fast for 4-6 hours before PET/CT scan — eating raises blood sugar and reduces scan quality
For diabetics: manage blood sugar as instructed — blood glucose above 200 mg/dL may require rescheduling
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before PET scan — muscle uptake can interfere with interpretation
Inform about pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any allergies before any nuclear medicine procedure

During the Appointment

You will receive an injection of radioactive tracer — this is painless and safe
Wait for 45-60 minutes after injection (for PET/CT) while the tracer distributes — stay still and relaxed
The scan itself takes 20-40 minutes — you need to lie still on the scanner bed
Inform the technologist if you are claustrophobic — the scanner is open and less confining than MRI

After the Visit

Drink 2-3 litres of water after the procedure to flush the radioactive tracer from your body
For radioiodine therapy: follow isolation instructions strictly — maintain distance from children and pregnant women
Radioactivity from diagnostic scans is negligible after a few hours — normal contact is safe
Collect your report as scheduled and bring it to your treating doctor for treatment planning

A Nuclear Medicine specialist uses radioactive tracers for diagnostic imaging (PET/CT, bone scans) and targeted radioactive therapy.

Nuclear medicine procedures use very small amounts of radiation — they are safe when prescribed by your doctor.
