• Key Strengths

  Advanced Equipment for Precision Diagnostics and Treatment

  
  

  • 

    Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT)
    PET-CT combines the biochemical imaging capabilities of PET with the anatomical precision of CT. By using radiotracers, it enables visualization and quantification of physiological processes, such as tumor metabolism, and offers precise localization for accurate cancer diagnosis and staging.

  • 

    Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)
    SPECT uses radiotracers to capture physiological images of the endocrine, urinary, gastrointestinal, skeletal, and respiratory systems. It provides accurate diagnosis of various conditions, including cancer, fractures, and organ dysfunction.

  • 

    SPECT-CT
    SPECT-CT is an advanced imaging system used for the precise diagnosis of conditions affecting the bones, heart, brain, and other organs. It combines the functional imaging capabilities of SPECT with the anatomical imaging clarity of CT, significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
    This system utilizes low-dose CT to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring accurate attenuation correction and reducing artifacts caused by external factors, thereby producing highly detailed images. Moreover, it quantifies the accumulation of radiopharmaceuticals within the body, providing objective and reproducible information about the affected areas.

  
  

  Radioiodine Therapy
  Radioiodine therapy uses radioactive iodine to target residual thyroid tissue or micro-metastases after surgical removal of thyroid cancer. Our department provides outpatient therapy, patient education, and comprehensive care for thyroid cancer patients to ensure effective treatment and minimize recurrence risks.
