Thyroid

The thyroid is a relatively small organ, lying against and around the larynx and trachea. Female thyroid glands weigh up to 18 g, male ones up to 25 g.

Parathyroid gland

The parathyroid glands are two pairs of glands having the size of apple seeds usually positioned behind the left and right lobes of the thyroid

PET/CT and MRI

This imaging techniques belong to the most accurate modalities in the field of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine..

Skeleton/bones

The skeletal scintigraphy or bone scan is the most sensitive method for the presentation of bone metabolism.

Heart

With myocardial scintigraphy the perfusion (blood flow) of the heart can be measured at rest and during exercise by the use of radioactively marked substances.

Brain

It is increasingly clear that Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases present a challenge for our society.

Kidney

By using renal scintigraphy the function and excretion of the kidneys can be separately examined.

Lymphatic system and sentinel lymph nodes

Here, we use a radioactive material, called a radiopharmaceutical or radiotracer, which is injected beneath the skin.
