Nuclear medicine diagnostic services
in Hermosillo
Nuclear medicine diagnostic services provide early, accurate insight into how your organs function, often before symptoms appear, helping guide timely and personalized treatment.
Common causes
Nuclear medicine allows physicians to identify disease at an early stage and assess how advanced a condition may be, providing essential insight to create an effective and personalized treatment plan.
Cancer diagnosis and follow-up
Nuclear medicine can help detect cancer early, locate tumors, and see if the disease has spread to other areas of the body. It is also used to monitor how well treatments like chemotherapy are working, helping doctors adjust care when needed.
Heart function
These studies help evaluate how well blood is reaching the heart muscle and can show the extent of damage after a heart attack, supporting better treatment decisions.
Brain function
Nuclear medicine helps doctors identify areas of the brain affected by reduced blood flow or damage after a stroke. It is also used to help diagnose conditions such as dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and brain tumors.
Thyroid disorders
These studies provide important information about how the thyroid gland is working. They can help diagnose overactive or underactive thyroid conditions, monitor treatment progress, evaluate thyroid nodules, and determine whether thyroid cancer has spread.
Treatments and procedures
These studies use a small, safe amount of radioactive tracer that is either injected or taken by mouth. The tracer travels directly to the organ being examined, allowing doctors to capture detailed images and detect abnormal activity early, often before other imaging tests.
The nuclear medicine physician in Hermosillo specializes in advanced diagnostic studies that help detect disease early and evaluate organ function. Your care is guided by a certified specialist with the experience and expertise to provide accurate results, personalized attention, and support you in making informed decisions about your health.
