SRP Specialized Radiology Partners

Today, nuclear medicine offers procedures that are essential in many medical specialties, from oncology to cardiology to psychiatry. Nuclear medicine imaging is unique, because it provides doctors with information about both structure and function.

PET imaging, one type of nuclear medicine study, is used most often to detect cancer and to examine the effects of cancer therapy. PET scans of the heart can be used to determine blood flow to the heart muscle and help evaluate signs of coronary artery disease. PET scans of the brain are used to evaluate patients who have memory disorders of an undetermined cause, suspected or proven brain tumors or seizure disorders that are not responsive to medical therapy and are therefore candidates for surgery.

SRP's radiologists in the nuclear medicine area received residencies and fellowships at some of the nation's most prestigious institutions, including: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Emory University Health Care Center, Washington University - Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology and SUNY at Buffalo School of Medicine.
