What is nuclear imaging?
Nuclear medical imaging uses small amounts of radioactive substances, which attach to the cells of any existing tumors. This allows Dr. Barley to diagnose and analyze any existing tumors or masses within your body. Cancer screening and testing through nuclear medical imagery can detect cancers or growths that are asymptomatic or that are just beginning to form.
