Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses radioactive substances (radiopharmaceuticals) to diagnose and sometimes treat conditions in various medical areas such as oncology, cardiology, endocrinology and nephrology. At Elytis, we offer high-precision nuclear medicine investigations that allow visualization of organ functions and early identification of abnormalities.

Why choose nuclear medicine at Elytis?

• Advanced functional diagnosis: nuclear medicine investigations allow the analysis of organ function, complementing information obtained by other imaging methods.
• Early detection: the use of radiopharmaceuticals helps to identify and characterize cancer and other conditions, often before they are visible by other methods.
• Multi-disciplinary approach: investigations are integrated into the overall diagnostic and treatment plan of the patient, through collaboration with various specialties.
• State-of-the-art technology: modern equipment ensures high-quality images and accurate results.
