Nuclear Medicine (within Alberta)

Insight Medical Imaging30 Sep, 2022Health

Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radiopharmaceuticals that are injected and then used to provide an image of an organ system or a specific part of the body. Nuclear Medicine Alberta Imaging is performed with a special camera known as a gamma camera. After the injection, imaging is sometimes performed immediately. Other nuclear medicine studies require delayed imaging after a few hours or even overnight. You will be instructed about the specifics during the imaging process itself. Depending on your exam, you may require some preparation. Our customer service expert radiologists at Insight Medical Imaging are here to ensure you are prepared and comfortable for your nuclear medicine exam.
