Virginia S. The images are developed based on the detection of energy emitted from a radioactive substance given to the patient. Radiation to the patient is, generally, similar to that resulting from standard x-ray examinations. Nuclear medicine images can assist the physician in diagnosing diseases. Tumors, infection and other disorders can be detected by evaluating organ function. Specifically, nuclear medicine can be used to:. Usually, no special preparation is needed for a nuclear medicine examination.
However, if the procedure involves evaluation of the stomach, you may have to skip the meal immediately before the test. If the procedure involves evaluation of the kidneys, you may need to drink plenty of water before the test. During most nuclear medicine examinations, you will lie down on a scanning table. Consequently, the only piece of equipment you may notice is the specialized gamma camera used during the procedure. It is enclosed in metallic housing designed to facilitate imaging of specific parts of the body.
It looks like a large square metallic apparatus with a metal arm that hangs over the examination table. You are given a compound, usually intravenously but sometimes orally, containing a small amount of a radioactive substance that localizes in specific body organ systems.
This compound, called a radiopharmaceutical or tracer, eventually collects in the organ and gives off energy as gamma rays. The gamma camera detects the rays and works with a computer to produce images and measurements of organs and tissues.
