HIDA Scan (Hepatobiliary Imaging)

Nuclear medicine incorporates radioactive materials to help diagnose and treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders. It helps physicians to diagnose disease earlier to make medical treatment more effective. Nuclear medicine procedures are widely used to test and treat patients. Every precaution is taken to ensure the safety of our patients. Exposure to radiation is low, as only tiny quantities are used for diagnoses. Exposure is short, as compounds lose most of their radioactivity in a relatively short period of time and are usually quickly eliminated from the body. Radiation exposure is carefully controlled, as our facilities, equipment and materials meet strict safety standards.
