Detects tumors that have somatostatin receptors, like neuroendocrine tumors, using a radiolabeled version of the hormone octreotide.

Measures the thyroid gland's ability to absorb iodine from the blood.

Uses the radioisotope gallium-67 to detect inflammation, infection, or tumors within the body.

Treats cancer by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells via antibodies tagged with a radiolabeled isotope.

Detects areas of bone growth or breakdown indicating fractures, cancer, infection, or other bone diseases.

Measures the speed with which food leaves the stomach, helping to diagnose gastroparesis or other digestive disorders.

Visualizes neuroendocrine tumors by binding a radioactive tracer to molecules that are absorbed by these tumor cells.

Assesses blood flow in the brain to identify areas of reduced blood flow, useful in stroke or dementia diagnosis.

Evaluates the function of the gallbladder and bile ducts by tracking the flow of a radiotracer through the liver to the small intestine.

Uses radioactive iodine to destroy thyroid tissue in conditions such as hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer.

Evaluates renal function, structure, and perfusion by tracking a radiotracer through the kidneys.

Assesses the heart's pumping function by creating moving images that show the chambers of the heart.

Produces an image of the thyroid gland to assess its size, shape, position, and function.

Identifies abnormal parathyroid glands by using radiotracers that are taken up differently by parathyroid tissue compared to thyroid tissue.

Assesses blood flow to the heart muscle at rest and during stress to identify areas with poor blood flow or damage.

Locates the first lymph node (sentinel) draining a cancer area to check for the potential spread of cancer.

Uses radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic processes in the body.

Identifies infection or inflammation by using radioactive markers attached to white blood cells.

Evaluates airflow (ventilation) and blood flow (perfusion) in the lungs to detect pulmonary embolism or other conditions.
