Abstract
#Nuclear medicine is a diagnostic #medical specialty that focuses
on depicting the function rather than the morphology of certain
anatomical structures and organs within the human body with the
use of certain radioactive drugs that following the administration
to the patient they concentrate on the tissue we want to depict and
emit radiation that is detected by a PET or a SPECT scan. This is
rather helpful in the case of solid organs and tumorous masses
till this day for example the diagnosis of #metastases evaluation of
coronary artery disease or determination of the type of #thyroidnodes but as far as the #peripheral vascular system is concerned the
use of nuclear medicine was rather limited since the very beginning
and hasn’t evolved much to this day owning to the fact that vascular
#diseases are much better depicted with the use of X-ray contrast
#angiography triplex ultrasound and CT scan.
