Nuclear medicine employs radioactive isotopes to diagnose a variety of conditions, including:

• Cardiovascular diseases
• Thyroid and endocrine system disorders
• Bone diseases (including comprehensive bone scans)
• Renal-genital system disorders
• Gastrointestinal conditions
• Cancer diagnostics and other specific scans like lung perfusion/ventilation for pulmonary embolism, lacrimal duct scans for obstructions, and parotid gland scans for glandular diseases.

PET/CT combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) to provide both metabolic and anatomical insights in a single session, offering a comprehensive overview of a patient's condition. This technology is essential in cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment response evaluation, and it also aids in the precise localization of tumors and the planning of targeted radiotherapy, thereby minimizing damage to healthy tissues. PET/CT scans are particularly advantageous for their speed, comfort, and accuracy, improving patient outcomes and diagnostic efficiency.
