Overview

Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine involves a scan or test to show how various parts of your body are working.

You receive a very small amount of radiation, similar to an X-ray, that can be picked up by a scanner.

Types of scans and tests we offer include:

  • diagnostic imaging
  • cardiac (heart) stress testing
  • children's imaging
  • hybrid imaging
  • osteoporosis screening
  • non-cancer thyroid testing
  • thyroid cancer therapy
  • neuroendocrine testing
  • radium therapy for prostate cancer
  • radiosynovectomy
  • radionuclide therapy

Accommodation

There is accommodation available for people attending the nuclear medicine department for treatment at Guy's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital. Find out more information about:
