Nuclear Medicine unit

This department is equipped with a gamma camera device and performs scans to treat thyroid tumors and endocrine cancers.

In 2018, Lutetium therapy was done in Omid hospital for the first time.

Lutetium (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen) is an innovative therapy used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The treatment works to reduce the tumor size and prevents the tumor from increasing, whilst also helping to improve the symptoms that these tumors might cause.

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is one of the nuclear medicine tomographic imaging techniques using gamma ray’s gamma camera scans. With this technology the physiology function of organs such thyroid can be detected. We proud to announce that the most professional SPECT device is in OMID hospital.
