A nuclear medicine examination relies on specific radioactive isotopes or radiotracers designed to detect specific suspected pathology. Radioactive isotopes emit low dose radiation which can be detected and imaged by a special camera. The isotope is chosen to optimally detect what is clinically suspected. All nuclear medicine studies at Hospital for Special Surgery are performed in the Nuclear Medicine Division of the Department of Radiology and Imaging.
