What is a Nuclear Study?
Nuclear Studies are types of imaging exams that use radioactive isotopes (microscopic particles) that are administered into your bloodstream, similar to when you get an IV. These isotopes are in liquid form, and depending on the type of isotope used, will collect in different parts of your body to allow the technologist to scan that body part with a sophisticated camera. The images collected can then be reviewed by your doctors to help diagnose a wide variety of illnesses.
