Nuclear Medicine Department
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialism essentially dedicated to the diagnosis of patients by the use of radioisotope-marked substances and to treatment by unsealed radioactive sources.
The Hospital Universitario La Moraleja is the only hospital in the Sanitas network with this department. This exclusive department helps doctors perform their diagnoses, thanks to the portfolio of services it offers:
- GENERAL ELECTRIC PET/CT. Latest Generation.
- SIEMENS SPECT DUAL-HEAD GAMMA CAMERA. Latest Generation.
- SIEMENS SPECT GAMMA CAMERA. Single-head
- PROBE. Sentinel Node Detection.
Within the medical team, the department is made up of:
Three specialist physicians, holding a Radioactive Facility Supervisor Licence.
One qualified nurse with a Radioactive Facility Operator Licence.
And six technicians specialising in Imaging, shared with Diagnostic Imaging. All of them hold a Radioactive Facility Operator Licence.
This top research team assists the other medical specialisms in their diagnostic work. Within them, the following specific tests should be highlighted:
- First-step isotopic ventriculography for detection of L-R short circuits.
- Isotopic balance ventriculography.
- Myocardial scintigraphy with pyrophosphates for detection of AMI.
