Presentation of the nuclear medicine and molecular imaging department

Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have transformed the way doctors are able to diagnose and treat a vast spectrum of diseases, enabling them to propose individualized treatment plans leading to better, safer and more cost-effective care.

Nuclear medicine uses a small quantity of a radioactive tracer introduced into the body, where it can be detected by an external scanner and deliver information about organ function or cellular or molecular activity in vivo to patients. These procedures are non-invasive and safe, and over 40 million people worldwide benefit from this type of diagnosis and therapy every year.   

This tour will enable you to understand the differences between conventional radiology (X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound) and molecular imaging, which operates on a cellular and molecular scale that touches all areas of medicine, from early stage detection to the development of effective therapies and personalized treatments. Diagnostic, therapeutic and research aspects will be presented in the fields of cancer, cardiovascular disease, brain and neurodegenerative diseases.
