Department of Neclear Medicine
The Department of Nuclear Medicine performs diagnosis and therapy using chemical substances (radionuclides) that only produce a small amount of radiation. These substances travel through the bloodstream to a specific organ in the body. This organ can then be shown and monitored on a very sensitive piece of apparatus known as a gamma-camera. "Monitored" means that the target organ can be shown at different moments so as to get an impression of the functioning of the organ. Sometimes it is only necessary to take one image but usually a more extensive examination is needed. Radionuclides can also be used for therapy.
