Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nuclear medicine scans are usually conducted by nuclear medicine technologists or radiographers. Nuclear medicine, in a sense, is "radiology done inside out" or "endoradiology" because it records radiation emitting from within the body rather than radiation that is generated by external sources like X-rays. In addition, nuclear medicine scans differ from radiology as the emphasis is not on imaging anatomy but the function and for such reason, it is called a physiological imaging modality. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography or SPECT and Positron Emission Tomography or PET scans are the two most common imaging modalities in nuclear medicine.
Diagnostic medical imaging
Diagnostic
In nuclear medicine imaging, radiopharmaceuticals are taken internally, for example, intravenously or orally. Then, external detectors (gamma cameras) capture and form images from the radiation emitted by the radiopharmaceuticals. This process is unlike a diagnostic X-ray, where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.
What is nuclear medicine used for? How does nuclear medicine work? Will I be radioactive after a nuclear medicine scan? Are nuclear medicine tests safe? This video serves an introduction to the field of nuclear medicine. In less than 2 minutes, you'll know what nuclear medicine is, why someone might need a nuclear medicine scan and if nuclear medicine scans are safe.

What is nuclear medicine? An illustrated introduction
Nuclear Medicine was introduced shortly after radioactivity was discovered. After 50 years of experience and practice, today Nuclear Medicine plays a key role in the evolution of medicine concerning both diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. While Nuclear Medicine techniques are routinely employed with high quality and safety standards, the discipline itself remains complex and needs to be carefully explained. The usefulness of such techniques is testified by the 60 million procedures performed worldwide on a yearly basis.

Radiology - Nuclear Medicine (N.M.) scan
Nuclear Medicine scan usually involves a small injection of a special radioactive tracer followed by a series of images taken using a special scanner. The scanner usually moves around while you lie still on a special bench. Nuclear Medicine scans provide information on various organs, including heart, brain, bones, lungs, thyroid, kidneys, blood system, stomach and bowel. Usually information is obtained about how the organs are functioning, helping your doctor decide on the best treatment.
