What do Nuclear Imaging & Therapy Physicians do?
Nuclear medicine and therapy physicians use radioactive tracers to diagnose and treat diseases by producing images of organs and tissues or by targeting and destroying diseased cells.
They are medical doctors with specialized training in using these radioactive materials to evaluate and manage a wide range of conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and thyroid problems.
Diagnostic roles
Imaging: They use techniques like scintigraphy to visualize the internal function of organs, helping to diagnose conditions that might not be apparent with other imaging methods.
Condition detection: Scans can help identify diseases in their early stages by revealing how well organs and tissues are functioning, or by pinpointing issues like tumors, infections, or blockages.
Organ evaluation: This includes assessing kidney function, lung blood flow, heart function, and the gallbladder.
Therapeutic roles
Targeted treatment: They use radiopharmaceuticals to deliver radiation directly to diseased cells, such as cancerous cells, to destroy them.
Disease management: They treat conditions like hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and certain types of cancer that have spread to the bones.
Theranostics: This approach combines both diagnostic imaging and therapy to target and treat specific diseases, sometimes using the same radiopharmaceutical for both purposes.
How they work
Therapy delivery: In therapeutic uses, the radiopharmaceutical is designed to bind to specific cells, delivering a high dose of radiation to destroy them while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Radiopharmaceuticals: A small amount of radioactive material is administered to the patient, typically through injection, but sometimes orally or by inhalation.
Image capture: The radioactive tracers accumulate in specific organs or tissues, and a special camera captures the emitted radiation to create an image that shows the body’s activity at a molecular level.
