With this article, we will explain in a few short sentenses what nuclear medicine is and what it is used/needed for.
Nuclear medicine is a relatively young area of expertise.
It concerns itself with the use of exposed radioactive substances for diagnostic and therapeutic usage on humans.
With nuclear medical methods it is - on one hand - possible to visualize and thereby localize physiological and biochemical processes respectively pathological transformation for the naked eye, on the other hand it allows the physician to quantify the extent of dysfunction.
Since function changes often hurry ahead of morphological changes, it is possible to diagnose a disease quite early in the process, long before changes are visible on diagnostic radiology or on ultrasound (example: osteomyelitis = bone marrow inflammation).
Therefore, nuclear medicine has its specialty in function diagnostics, meaning the expressiveness of nuclear medical images lies in the display of dysfunctions (= disease).
In nuclear medical diagnostics, patients are only injected with a low dose of radioactive substances. This so-called “radio tracers” are mostly applied through an easily accessible vein - similar to a blood test done by your family doctor - and usually are without side effects. After the injection, the radio tracer is observed and followed on its way through the body by a highly sensitive cam.
Due to natural radioactive decay as well as secretion via urinary and bowel passage, a fast elimination of the radio tracer from the body occurs.
The radiation exposure that occurs at different nuclear medical examinations is well within range of critical load known from radiology diagnostics, most of the time way below.
With modern high-resolution cam systems and corresponding imaging software it is possible to produce detailed imaging of the human body with a so-called Gamma Cam.
