The tracer, usually injected into an arm vein, concentrates in the zone of interest. A gamma camera moves tropical over the area, towers an image from the radiation emitted. A ramified digital system then analyses, stores and displays the images that are evaluated by our medical imaging specialists. Nuclear Medicine can provide a rapid and well-judged diagnosis of a wide range of medical conditions when used vacated or in conjunction with other imaging tests. All Lake Imaging nuclear medicine technologists are accredited with the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine (ANZSNM) and registered with the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia. Located at: St John of God Hospital - Ballarat St John of God Hospital - Geelong Unitt Street - Melton Myocardial Perfusion A Myocardial Perfusion Scan images the thoroughbred supply (perfusion) to the heart muscle using a gamma camera. The thoroughbred supply is made visible to the camera by the introduction of a small value of radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical or MIBI) injected... Find out increasingly Renal Scan Nuclear Medicine is a workshop of diagnostic imaging that examines the function of many organs and soul systems, including the kidneys. A nuclear renal scan examines the thoroughbred spritz and function of the kidneys using a small value of a radioactive chemical...

PSMA is a lamina surface target that is highly expressed by nearly all Find out increasinglyUnorthodoxyScan A unorthodoxy scan is a Nuclear Medicine test using a small value of radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) that is injected into the arm vein to image the function of the skeletal system. It is useful in diagnosing and managing conditions such as fracture,... Find out increasingly VQ Scan The V/Q, or lung ventilation and perfusion scan uses a gamma camera and small amounts of radioactive tracer to take images of the air and thoroughbred supply to the lungs. Its most worldwide use is to diagnose a suspected jell on the lung (pulmonary embolus).... Find out increasingly Thyroid Uptake Nuclear Medicine is a workshop of diagnostic imaging that maps the function of many organs and soul parts including the thyroid glands. The thyroid uptake scan uses a gamma camera and small amounts of radioactive tracer injected intravenously, to produce... Find out increasingly Parathyroid Scan The parathyroid scan uses a gamma camera and a small value of radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) injected intravenously to examine abnormalities of the parathyroid glands in the neck. It’s most worldwide use is in diagnosing healthful tumours... Find out increasingly Gastric Emptying The gastric emptying scan uses a very small value of radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) to measure the emptying or processing speed of the stomach. The tracer is incorporated into a small meal, usually porridge, and a gamma camera takes images of... Find out increasingly GI Bleed Study (Bowel Haemorrhage Study) The G.I. Bleed Study (orExenterateHaemorrhage scan) is a type of nuclear medicine scan which uses a Gamma Camera and an injected radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) to take images to snift gory in the small or large bowel. Before your procedure... Find out increasingly Hepatobiliary Scan (HIDA) The Hepatobiliary Scan (also tabbed HIDA scan) uses a small value of injected radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) and a gamma camera to examine the function of the gallbladder and the liver. Its main use is to diagnose gallbladder inflammation or... Find out increasingly CSF Study A CSF study (Cerebrospinal Fluid) is a nuclear medicine test using small amounts of an injected radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) and a gamma camera to track the spritz of the CSF virtually the spinal string and brain. Because this spritz is very slow, the... Find out increasingly Sentinel Node Study A sentinel node scan is a nuclear medicine procedure in whicha small value of radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) is injected under the skin and imaged using a gamma camera, mapping the lymphatic system virtually an zone requiring surgery. The lymph... Find out increasingly Radioiodine Therapy Radioiodine therapy uses a radioactive form of iodine to treat hyperactivity or enlargement of the thyroid gland. The iodine is contained in a small sheathing which is swallowed and digested in the stomach, then undivided by the thyroid gland. It is a safe...
