Medicare
The following are the total number of In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physicians who accept Medicare in your State, the number who have opted out of Medicare, and the total number excluded from participation in Medicare nationwide.
The diagram below shows all the In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physicians across the country, represented by blue bubbles. The larger the bubble, the greater the concentration of providers in that area. Red bubbles represent Medicare-excluded providers, with the larger bubbles indicating a higher percentage of excluded providers in that region. You can change the bubble size to be based on exclusions from the Size menu.
What do In Vivo & In Vitro Nuclear Medicine Physicians do?
In-vivo nuclear medicine physicians use radioactive tracers within the patient’s body for diagnostic imaging and therapy.
In contrast, in-vitro nuclear medicine physicians analyze patient samples, such as blood, in a laboratory setting to diagnose conditions.
In-vivo procedures produce images of an organ’s function, such as a PET or SPECT scan.
In contrast, in vitro procedures use laboratory techniques such as radioimmunoassay to measure substances in samples.
In vivo nuclear medicine physicians
Perform diagnostic imaging: They administer radiopharmaceuticals (radioactive tracers) to the patient through injection, swallowing, or inhalation.
Image and diagnose: They use specialized cameras to create images that show how organs or tissues are functioning, helping diagnose conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and bone disorders.
Provide therapy: They use radioactive materials to treat diseases like thyroid disorders and cancer.
In vitro nuclear medicine physicians
Analyze samples: They use radioactive materials in laboratory tests to analyze patient samples, such as blood or urine.
Use lab techniques: They perform tests like radioimmunoassay, which uses radioactive compounds to measure hormones, vitamins, or other substances in a sample.
Diagnose specific conditions: These lab tests are used to diagnose conditions, including infectious diseases such as malaria and HIV, as described on the IAEA website.
How they work together
Integrated approach: This combination enables a comprehensive diagnosis by combining whole-body scans with precise laboratory analysis of specific substances, as explained in the healthcare-in-europe.com article.
Complementary roles: A physician might use in vivo imaging to identify a potential problem, then use an in vitro test to gain a more detailed understanding of the issue.
