| Nuclear
medicine is now commonplace. As it involves use
of radioactive isotopes in very small doses in
diagnosing and treatment of diseases, radioactive
medicine injected or administered orally and the
distribution in the organ is scanned using a Gamma
camera. Tariffs are low starting from Rs. 4,000
for Thalluim rest (SPECT), Rs. 1,800 for lung
perfusion and venogram of upper or lower limbs,
Rs. 14,000 for Ventilation study, Rs. 1,500 for
a whole body skeletal study and Rs. 700 for Tc-99m
Thyroid scan. |

|
| Various
non-cardiac planar/SPECT studies for bone, thyroid,
liver and lungs scanning functions are performed at
specialised centres in India. Diagnostic imaging of
the brain, stomach, kidneys, heart, adrenal glands as
well as sites of occult infection with the help of sophisticated
Gamma Camera with tomographic facilities linked to computer
systems can also be performed at many of these centres. |
