Scintigraphy - Nuclear Medicine

In the state-of-the-art Nuclear Medicine Department of Affidea, in vivo diagnostic tests are performed using all current radiopharmaceuticals and known techniques for each examination.

Specifically, the following scintigraphy procedures are conducted:

Thyroid scintigraphy (with Tc-99m, I-131, or Tl-201), bone scintigraphy (plain or three-phase), kidney scintigraphy (static or dynamic), lung scintigraphy, sentinel node scintigraphy, gastric emptying study, lacrimal duct scintigraphy, gastrointestinal bleeding scintigraphy, brain scintigraphy (including perfusion, carotid studies, tomography, static, etc.), parathyroid scintigraphy, cardiac scintigraphy (static or dynamic, stress and rest ventriculography, first-pass studies for shunts, etc.), liver scintigraphy, biliary tract scintigraphy, gallbladder scintigraphy, spleen scintigraphy, salivary gland scintigraphy, whole-body scintigraphy (with Ga-67, Tl-201, or I-131)

The Nuclear Medicine Department is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including gamma cameras or SPECT-CT systems and radioactive tracers, for mapping body organs and generating dynamic and functional data to assess various conditions, such as cancer, thyroid disease, cardiac function, orthopedic trauma, infection, blood clots in the lungs, and other potential diseases.
