Nuclear medicine involves the study of the human body using a gamma camera to reveal the activity of organs within the body, allowing medical information to be gathered that may otherwise be unavailable or require surgery to obtain. Nuclear medicine is used in the diagnosis, management, treatment, and prevention of many diseases. This form of imaging can identify abnormalities far earlier than other diagnostic tests, allowing a disease to be treated early in its course.
At Apollo Hospitals Colombo, our highly qualified staff of technicians, along with our state-of-the-art technology helps us to detect your condition early. Our hospital uses the Dual Detector Gamma Camera, the most advanced technology in nuclear medicine and the first of its kind in Sri Lanka. Imaging with this camera takes only half the time than previous generation Gamma Cameras and is used to create sharp 3D imagery of the whole body or functions within the body.
