Nuclear medicine is an extremely specialized branch of medicine that requires expert skills, advancedtechnology and carefully handled clinical materials. Manipal Hospitals' ensures the safe and effective use of nuclear medicine through its team of highly skilled endoradiologists and state of the art labs. While nuclear medicine procedures exist well within the safety standards, they are not recommended unless they are necessary and beneficial to the patient.

An endoradiologist will intravenously inject a radiopharmaceutical into the bloodstream. This is also known as a contrast material. Once the material has been fully injected, the endoradiologist will be able to use external gamma cameras to produce diagnostic imaging.

Nuclear medicine has been standardized to pose as little risk to patients as possible. However, there is always a component of risk when it comes to radiation, which is why nuclear medical professionals always follow the principle of ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable)

In most cases, there is little to no effect on the patient as the exposure levels are maintained well within the safe limit. If any side effects are expected, your endoradiologist will be able to inform you beforehand.

They are normally recommended or prescribed only when there is a lack of alternatives. The advanced imaging techniques may sometimes be the only way to achieve an accurate diagnosis.

Regular health checkups are an important part of maintaining good health. Routine checkups can help detect any medical issues in their early stages when they are easier to treat.
