Introduction of the medical department

There are in-vivo tests (PET-CT, SPECT-CT) and treatment (thyroid cancer) in which a trace amount of radioisotope is injected into the body and images are taken, and in-vitro (sample) tests that are analyzed by reacting with the sample.

Major Investigations

• Internal examination (imaging) - single photon tomography (SPECT and SPECT-CT), breast-specific gamma camera, positron emission tomography (PET-CT)
• Radioisotope treatment (thyroid cancer) - When a radioisotope (I-131) is administered to the body, it gathers in the thyroid gland and cancer, and the radioactivity released from it destroys the tumor cells in the body.
• In vitro (sample) test - This is a test that collects a sample such as blood or urine from a patient and reacts the sample with a radioactive isotope to determine the content of the sample.
