Diagnosis and treatment

Oncology Imaging Center offers diagnosis and treatment as follows:

• Ultrasound, CT Scan

• Nuclear medicine- (PET/CT Scan), (Cyclotron)

• PET/CT Scan with FDG, F-DOPA, or PiB; 90% of PET/CT Scan will use FDG while F-DOPA is utilized in brain conditions such as Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. While the PiB (Pittsburgh Compound is used in diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, for example.

Other diagnostic technologies with Nuclear Medicine include:

• Measure Thyroid Gland Function Thyroid Uptake

• Cancer Detection with SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography)

Other Services Include:

• Intervention Radiology

• a form of diagnosis and treatment using radiology such RF Ablation for liver cancer This is a technique that provides similar results to surgical treatment, with actually performing s

• urgery. Treatment is given through the skin with the help of ultrasound or X-ray to permanently kill cancer cells.

PET/CT Scan Center

Diagnosis and staging of cancer and investigating other diseases with the PET/CT Scan (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography).

Our services include:

• Our in-house cyclotron is capable of producing PET radiopharmaceuticals such as F-18 FDG, F-18 NaF, F-18 FD0PA and C-11 PiB. Oncology-imaging services using CT scan and ultrasound by expert oncology radiologists.

• PET/CT with floe technology

• PET/CT with floe technology is the world’s first PET/CT system to eliminate the demand for stop-and-go imaging since the scanning is based on a single continuous motion of the patient table. Not only less time consumption but PET/CT Flow also provides patients a smooth and convenient scan. Presently, diagnosis with PET/CT scan utilizes F-18 FDG radiopharmaceutical in more than 90% of cases. Other radiopharmaceuticals for instance F-18 FD0PA is used in certain types of cancers and brain disorders such as Parkinson’s and other movement disorders, while the C-11 PiB (Pittsburgh Compound) is applicable to Alzheimer’s disease.

Nuclear Medicine Clinic

• Thyroid Uptake Test

• Treatment using radiopharmaceuticals such as iodine to treat thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism

• Treatment of bone pain as a result of cancer

Nuclear Medicine Clinic

Intervention Radiology such as Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive medical procedure which provides similar result to surgery. Treatment is usually performed through skin via a needle and utilizes medical imaging equipment such as ultrasound or CT for navigation with the goal for permanently killing cancer cells.
