What has the author Earl P Steinberg written?
Earl P. Steinberg has written: 'Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging technology' -- subject(s): Diagnostic use, Government policy, Imaging systems in medicine, Magnetic resonance imaging, Medical imaging equipment industry, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
What does a radiology technician do?
A radiology technician typically works in a X-ray or imaging laboratory. He or she performs diagnostic imaging procedures in nuclear medicine such as X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluoroscopy and mammography.
What is Society of Nuclear Medicine's motto?
Society of Nuclear Medicine's motto is 'Advancing Molecular Imaging and Therapy'.
Which preformed in the diagnostic imaging?
Common procedures performed in diagnostic imaging include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine scans. These tests are used to help diagnose and monitor various medical conditions by providing detailed images of the body's internal structures.
What has the author I F Moseley written?
I. F. Moseley has written: 'Diagnostic imaging in neurological disease' -- subject(s): Diagnosis, Diagnostic imaging, Diagnostic use, Diseases, Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Nervous system, Nuclear magnetic resonance, Radiography, Radionuclide imaging, Ultrasonic Diagnosis, Ultrasonography
How is medicine used today?
Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine ImagingIn Nuclear Medicine imaging, radiopharmaceuticals are taken internally, for example intravenously or orally. Then, external detectors (gamma cameras) capture and form images from the radiation emitted by the radiopharmaceuticals. This process is unlike a diagnostic X-ray where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image. Nuclear medicine imaging may also be referred to as radionuclide imaging or nuclear scintigraphy.Nuclear medicine tests differ from most other imaging modalities in that diagnostic tests primarily show the physiological function of the system being investigated as opposed to traditional anatomical imaging such as CT or MRI. Nuclear Medicine imaging studies are generally more organ or tissue specific (e.g.: lungs scan, heart scan, bone scan, brain scan, etc.) than those in conventional radiology imaging, which focus on a particular section of the body (e.g.: chest X-ray, abdomen/pelvis CT scan, head CT scan, etc.). In addition, there are nuclear medicine studies that allow imaging of the whole body based on certain cellular receptors or functions. Examples are whole body PET or PET/CT scans, Gallium scans, white blood cell scans, MIBG and Octreotide scans.Nuclear Medicine TherapyIn Nuclear Medicine therapy, the radiation treatment dose is also administered internally (e.g. intravenous or oral routes) rather from an external radiation source.Molecular MedicineIn the future, Nuclear Medicine may be known as Molecular Medicine. As our understanding of biological processes in the cells of living organism expands, specific probes can be developed to allow visualization, characterization, and quantification of biologic processes at the cellular and subcellular levels. Nuclear Medicine is an ideal specialty to adapt to the new discipline of molecular medicine, because of its emphasis on function and its utilization of imaging agents that are specific for a particular disease process.surMedical.com Team

How does nuclear medicine work?
Nuclear medicine is a form or medical imaging where we take drugs that we know what they do in the body, and attach a radioactive atom to each of the molecules so that as the drugs is being used by the body, we can image it with special cameras called gamma cameras. We also do some forms of therapy for thyroid disorders, liver tumors, and bone pain palliation. I hope that's a good enough answer for this general question, but if more is needed, just let me know.

Jozef Jaklovsky has written: 'Preparation of nuclear targets' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Targets (Nuclear physics) 'NMR imaging' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Diagnosis, Magnetic resonance imaging, Nuclear magnetic resonance, Nuclear medicine
What is nuclear medicine based on?
Nuclear medicine is based upon the physics of excited atomic nuclei. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was one such early form of nuclear spectroscopy that eventually found widespread use in clinical laboratory and medical imaging
