Radiotracer Injection

Radiotracer injection involves administering a small amount of a radioactive substance into the body, usually through a vein. This radiotracer travels to specific organs or tissues, allowing doctors to use imaging techniques, like PET or SPECT scans, to visualize and assess how those areas are functioning. The radiation exposure is minimal and generally considered safe, helping to diagnose conditions, evaluate organ health, or monitor treatment effects. The process is quick, and the information gained is crucial for making informed medical decisions.
