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 create images of an organ’s function, like a PET or SPECT scan.
In contrast, in vitro procedures use lab techniques like 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 an organ or tissue is functioning, helping to diagnose conditions like heart disease, cancer, or 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 like malaria or HIV, as described on the IAEA website.
How they work together
Integrated approach: This combination allows for a comprehensive diagnosis by using both whole-body scans and precise laboratory analysis of specific substances, as explained on the healthcare-in-europe.com article.
Complementary roles: A physician might use in-vivo imaging to identify a potential problem, and then use an in-vitro test to get a more detailed understanding of the issue.
