Radionuclide Therapy

Radionuclide therapy, in the context of nuclear cardiology, is a medical treatment that uses small amounts of radioactive materials to diagnose or treat heart conditions. By introducing a radioactive substance into the bloodstream, doctors can create images of the heart's structure and function, helping identify issues like blocked arteries or damaged tissue. In some cases, this therapy can also target and destroy specific diseased cells, improving heart function. This advanced technique provides valuable information and treatment options to help manage heart health effectively.
