Imaging Department—Nuclear Medicine
Revere Health Imaging has an accredited nuclear medicine department that uses radioactive particles tagged to various chemicals to diagnose numerous disorders.
Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure. Nuclear medicine imaging is a combination of many different disciplines, including chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology, and medicine. This branch of radiology is often used to help diagnose and treat abnormalities very early in the progression of a disease, such as thyroid cancer.
Our nuclear department is located in the Provo imaging center.
