Nuclear medicine helps doctors diagnose disease earlier to make treatment more effective. It’s the best early warning system for a number of conditions, including certain kinds of heart disease, thyroid disease, tumors and bone changes. And central to every nuclear medicine program is positron emission tomography (PET), a powerful imaging test that was developed at MIR. Our nuclear medicine physicians are known for their expertise, interpretation and innovation, and continue to be at the forefront of PET clinical imaging and research, changing the way many diseases are treated.
