What are the unique benefits of Nuclear Medicine scans?

  • Provides unique diagnostic information currently unattainable with other
    imaging procedures;
     
  • Delivers the most useful information needed to make a diagnosis and to determine appropriate treatment for many diseases;
     
  • Allows early detection of a disease resulting in quicker treatment and oftentimes a better prognosis;
     
  • They are completely non-invasive and much less traumatic than exploratory surgery.
Casa Colina Diagnostic Imaging Center Now Offers Nuclear Medicine Studies
SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) are both offered at the Casa Colina Diagnostic Imaging Center. These are the two most common imaging modalities used in Nuclear Medicine, which uses radioactive tracers to assess bodily functions and to diagnose disease. Specially designed cameras allow our radiologist to track the path of these radioactive tracers, resulting in optimum diagnostic capabilities and results.

We are pleased to offer a variety of nuclear medicine scans including, but not limited to monitoring, evaluation, detection and treatment planning for disorders and diseases of the brain, heart, thyroid, parathyroid, liver, spleen, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and bones. 
“Dual head SPECT imaging provides an additional means of diagnosing and evaluating disease. When used in conjunction with plain films, CT, and MRI, it improves diagnostic confidence and can provide molecularly-specific disease evaluation.”

Claremont Imaging Associates now offers Positron Emission Tomography combined with Computed Tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis, staging and treatment monitoring of cancer. Research has shown that this valuable tool can positively impact the way you manage your patients’ treatment plans.

Benefits of PET/CT Scan Include:

   Early detection of disease;

   Precise staging and localization of disease progression;

   Accurate monitoring of the effects of therapy.
