Nuclear medicine is a modern medical imaging method that gives unique information about how different body systems work. We can use small safe amounts of radioactive tracers to see and study how our bodies work. This helps us find diseases early and create personalised treatment plans.
Myth: It involves high radiation exposure.
Fact: The procedure uses low doses of radiation, which are safe and comparable to other medical imaging tests.
Myth: It’s only used for cancer diagnosis.
Fact: Nuclear medicine helps find cancer and other health problems like heart disease, neurological disorders, and thyroid issues.
Myth: It’s an invasive procedure.
Fact: Nuclear medicine imaging is a non-invasive procedure. The procedure does not require any incisions or invasive techniques. During this procedure, the healthcare provider administers a tracer through injection, ingestion, or inhalation. After administering the tracer, we perform imaging to observe its movement within the body.
