Multidisciplinary approach and cutting-edge technology for
diagnosis and treatment with radiation and radiopharmaceuticals.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty dedicated to carrying out complementary diagnostic tests, as well as therapies, using small sources of radiation or radiopharmaceuticals.

At Lusíadas Saúde, Nuclear Medicine Units are equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and technology for performing an array of procedures, including Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Gamma Camera with Computer Tomography, which serve to diagnose and treat oncologic and non-oncologic diseases.

Lusíadas Saúde Nuclear Medicine Units have teams of technicians and medical specialists with extensive experience who, with the support of cutting-edge technology, work in close collaboration with different medical and surgical specialty areas.
