Page 3: The Role of NM

Sometimes seeing things from the Outside doesn't tell the whole story.It may look okay, but on the Inside it may NOT be okay.

Page 4: The Role of NM

Nuclear Medicine is an area of Radiology that Allows doctors to see from the Outside how the body is working Inside

Page 5: The Role of NM

What is Nuclear Medicine ?

Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that is used to Diagnose and Treat diseases in a Safe and Painless way.

Page 6: The Role of NM

Why it is Called Nuclear Medicine ?

Nuclear Medicine refers to ( a Pharmaceutical ) that is attached to a small quantity of Radioactive Material ( a Radioisotope )

Page 8: The Role of NM

How is NM Different from an x-ray, a CT, an MRI or an US ?

Nuclear Medicine Other ModalitiesDetect the Radiation coming from inside patient’s body.

Expose the patient to Radiation from outside the body

Determines the Cause of Medical Problem based on Organ Function.

Determine the Presence of Disease based on Anatomy or Structural Appearance.
