Specialist in Nuclear Medicine

Specialists in nuclear medicine use the nuclear-physical properties of matter to investigate, diagnose and treat metabolic changes and functional disorders in physiology, pathophysiology and anatomy. Their activities include in vitro investigations, in vivo imaging with radiopharmaceuticals and other nuclear medicine techniques as well as the medical applications of radiobiology, dosimetry and radiation protection. This field of activity includes the detection and treatment of diseases with the aid of open radioactive substances as well as radiation protection with its physical, biological and medical principles. Nuclear medicine primarily carries out diagnostic imaging examinations on patients. Thus
