Nuclear Medicine

When you need detailed insights into your health, nuclear medicine provides advanced imaging to detect problems early and guide effective treatment. Available at all four of our hospital locations, these studies use cutting-edge technology to deliver precise results.

During your exam, a small amount of radiopharmaceutical targets a specific organ, allowing a gamma camera to capture highly detailed images. This process helps your doctor see exactly how your body is functioning and identify any issues.

Some of the nuclear medicine studies at Willis Knighton include:

• Bone scan
• Cardiac stress tests
• GI bleed scan
• Hepatobiliary scan
• Lung ventilation and perfusion scan
• MUGA scan
• Thyroid uptake and scan

Technologists certified by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) guarantee the high-quality care you need and deserve.
