Nuclear MedicineNuclear Medicine involves the use of radioactive pharmaceuticals for imaging and treatment. Various organ function can be evaluated by administering the radiopharmaceutical, usually intravenously. NVRH uses a dual-headed whole body scanner which greatly reduces scanning time for the patient when compared to a single headed gamma camera.
