What is Nuclear Medicine?

Nuclear medicine imaging tests are non-invasive and painless procedures that are used to create images of the inside of the body. These images can help identify any abnormal cells or growths and make a diagnosis. Some common nuclear medicine tests for cancer diagnosis include:
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans
- Gallium scans
- Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scans

FAQ
Bone marrow procedure and care plan
A bone marrow or stem cell transplant saves lives by replacing damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells, restoring normal blood cell production and helping the body fight life-threatening diseases.
A bone marrow transplant works by replacing diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells that restore normal blood cell production and strengthen the immune system.
Recovery after a bone marrow transplant typically takes 3 to 6 months for initial healing, while full immune system recovery may take up to one year or longer, depending on the transplant type and patient health.
Common bone marrow transplant side effects include infections, fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). With proper monitoring and post-transplant care, most risks can be effectively managed.
The main types of bone marrow transplant include autologous transplant (patient’s own stem cells), allogeneic transplant (donor stem cells), and haploidentical transplant (partial donor match).
A bone marrow transplant may be required for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and other serious blood or immune system disorders.
