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

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

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

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

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

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

Provides 3D images by detecting gamma rays from a radioactive tracer injected into the bloodstream.

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

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

Uses radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic processes in the body.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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