Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is a special imaging modality that not only evaluates morphology but function. For over 40 years the Board Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologists at Good Samaritan have excelled in finding cardiac output, gallbladder function, blocked coronary arteries, skeletal stress fractures, infections, thyroid function, pulmonary emboli, parathyroid problems and staging certain cancers. Good Samaritan also proudly offers Nuclear Medicine PET/CT scans which are unsurpassed in both staging and assessing the effectiveness of cancer treatment. All nuclear medicine procedures are done by well trained, caring professionals using high quality cameras in a patient centered environment. We welcome the opportunity to serve you should you need nuclear medicine testing.
