Nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging

Hawthorn Medical's nuclear medicine services are available at our 237A State Road facility in Dartmouth. The tests are performed by highly trained specialists and involve the use of small amounts of radioactive materials (tracers). Nuclear medicine is different from other diagnostic imaging tests because it determines the cause of a medical problem based on function instead of structure. A special camera that detects the "tracer" is used to take pictures and record the information.

The Nuclear Medicine and Nuclear Cardiology Laboratories have been awarded accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL).
