Nuclear Medicine is a branch of medicine in which radioactive materials (unsealed sources of radiation) are used for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
The department of Nuclear Medicine at the Batra Hospital undertakes the diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from a wide spectrum of diseases.
A state-of -the-art ADAC dual head SPECT Camera system Comprising of sophisticated software, diagnostic workstations and microdot printers installed to perform SPECT, whole body and planar studies. Diagnostic imaging of the heart, lungs, brain, thyroid, stomach, salivary glands, liver, kidneys, bone, adrenal glands as well as sites of occult infection, is done by using a sophisticated Dual Head SPECT Gamma Camera linked to state of the art computer systems.
In addition, Radio Immuno Assays are carried out in our RIA laboratory on the second floor where all hormone profiles are assayed. Patients are also treated in the Department with therapeutic levels of radioactivity for diseases such as thyrotoxicosis and painful bone metastasis, as outpatients.
A Hybrid Dual Head SPECT-CT System from Siemens (Symbia-T) has been installed in the department. This has replaced the previous ADAC Dual Head SPECT Gamma Camera.
