Nuclear Medicine |
Nuclear Medicine SPECT Imaging (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) is also offered at CMH. This test is aimed at evaluating the function and the physiology of organs.
Unlike CAT Scans or MRI, which image the anatomy, or physical appearance, of an organ, Nuclear Medicine SPECT imaging evaluates the performance of an organ. The availability of these state-of-the-art technologies greatly extend the range of high-quality diagnostic services offered at CMH.
Through the use of nuclear medicine, CMH can now offer Miraluma breast imaging. This diagnostic test is used when physicians feel there are breast characteristics that may make interpretation of a regular mammogram difficult. Miraluma imaging has the ability to see within the breast regardless of breast tissue density. |
