Nuclear Medicine at ShardaCare – Healthcity

Advanced Molecular Imaging, PET-CT and Radionuclide Therapy Services

Nuclear Medicine is a specialised medical field that uses molecular imaging and targeted therapies to diagnose and manage diseases at a functional level. Unlike conventional imaging methods, which primarily show anatomical structures, Nuclear Medicine helps evaluate how organs and tissues function, enabling early detection of disease changes and better treatment planning.

At ShardaCare – Healthcity, our Department of Nuclear Medicine provides advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services using radiopharmaceuticals, molecular imaging technologies and expert clinical interpretation. Our specialists work closely with Oncology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Neurology, Surgery and other departments to support accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and patient care.

Why Choose ShardaCare – Healthcity for Nuclear Medicine?

At ShardaCare – Healthcity, patients receive comprehensive Nuclear Medicine services supported by advanced imaging technology, experienced specialists and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Our services help doctors evaluate complex medical conditions, monitor treatment response and plan personalised care strategies. We provide advanced molecular imaging solutions, including PET-CT, SPECT-CT, Gamma Camera imaging and radionuclide therapy services.

Understanding Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine uses small amounts of radiopharmaceuticals that are introduced into the body and detected through specialised imaging systems. These tracers provide information about organ function, metabolic activity and disease processes.

Nuclear Medicine plays an important role in:

• Early disease detection

• Cancer diagnosis and staging

• Treatment response monitoring

• Cardiac function assessment

• Neurological evaluation

• Thyroid disorder management

• Targeted molecular therapies

Conditions Evaluated Through Nuclear Medicine

Our Nuclear Medicine services support the diagnosis and management of various medical conditions, including:

Cancer Diagnosis and Monitoring

Nuclear Medicine plays an important role in modern cancer care by helping specialists:

• Detect cancer activity

• Assess disease spread

• Monitor response to treatment

• Evaluate possible recurrence

• Support treatment planning

Conditions commonly evaluated include:

• Lung cancer

• Breast cancer

• Prostate cancer

• Lymphoma

• Colorectal cancer

• Head and neck cancers

• Thyroid cancer

Thyroid Disorders

Nuclear Medicine provides evaluation and treatment support for thyroid conditions, including:

• Hyperthyroidism

• Graves’ disease

• Thyroid nodules

• Thyroid cancer

• Post-thyroidectomy monitoring

Cardiac Conditions

Nuclear cardiac imaging helps assess heart function and blood flow, supporting evaluation of:

• Coronary artery disease

• Reduced blood supply to the heart muscles

• Heart muscle viability

• Cardiac function assessment

• Cardiac risk evaluation

Neurological Disorders

Specialised molecular imaging may assist in evaluating:

• Dementia

• Alzheimer’s disease

• Parkinsonian disorders

• Epilepsy

• Brain function abnormalities

Bone and Musculoskeletal Conditions

Nuclear Medicine imaging helps evaluate:

• Bone infections

• Stress fractures

• Bone metastases

• Joint disorders

• Unexplained bone pain

Advanced Nuclear Medicine Services

PET-CT Imaging

Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) combines metabolic and anatomical imaging to provide detailed information about disease activity.

PET-CT is commonly used for:

• Cancer detection and staging

• Treatment response assessment

• Recurrence evaluation

• Oncology treatment planning

• Selected neurological and cardiac evaluations

SPECT-CT Imaging

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography-Computed Tomography (SPECT-CT) combines functional imaging with CT technology to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Applications include:

• Cardiac imaging

• Bone imaging

• Infection evaluation

• Thyroid imaging

• Neurological assessment

Gamma Camera Imaging

Gamma Camera imaging helps evaluate organ function and supports the diagnosis of conditions affecting:

• Thyroid gland

• Kidneys

• Bones

• Lungs

• Heart

• Gastrointestinal system

Radionuclide Therapy and Theranostics

Nuclear Medicine also provides targeted treatment options through radionuclide therapies. These treatments use radioactive substances designed to target specific tissues while limiting exposure to surrounding areas.

Radioiodine Therapy

Radioiodine therapy is used for selected thyroid conditions, including:

• Hyperthyroidism

• Graves’ disease

• Thyroid cancer

This treatment targets thyroid tissue and is tailored to each patient's requirements.

Targeted Radionuclide Therapies

Modern theranostic approaches combine diagnosis and treatment to support personalised care for selected cancers and complex conditions.

Potential benefits include:

• Targeted treatment delivery

• Reduced impact on healthy tissues

• Improved treatment planning

• Personalised therapeutic approaches
