Diagnostic Radiopharmaceuticals

Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals are special substances used in medical imaging to visualize and assess the function of organs and tissues. They contain small amounts of radioactive material that emit signals detectable by imaging devices like PET or SPECT scanners. When administered to a patient, these agents travel to specific organs or problems, allowing doctors to see detailed images of how the body is working. This helps in diagnosing conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and thyroid issues with minimal discomfort and high accuracy.
