Hi-Tech Healing Opportunities: Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear
medicine is now commonplace.
As it involves use of radioactive
isotopes in very small doses in diagnosing and treatment of diseases,
radioactive medicine is injected or administered orally and the
distribution in the organ is scanned using a Gamma camera.
Tariffs
are low starting from Rs. 4,000 for Thallium rest (SPECT), Rs. 1,800 for
lung perfusion and venogram of upper or lower limbs, Rs. 1,400 for
Ventilation study, Rs, 1,500 for a whole body skeletal study and Rs. 700
for tc-99m Thyroid scan. Various non-cardiac planar/SPECT studies for
bone, thyroid, liver and lungs scanning functions are performed at
specialized centres in India.
Diagnostic imaging of the brain,
stomach, kidneys, heart, adrenal glands as well as sites of occult
infection with the help of sophisticated Gamma Camera with tomographic
facilities linked to computer systems can also be performed at many of
these centres.
