Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is the field of medicine and medical imaging that uses radioactive isotopes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Singapore General Hospital (SGH) has one of the region's largest Department of Nuclear Medicine and provides a comprehensive range of clinical services in radioisotope imaging and therapy. Oncologic, cardiac, orthopaedic and neurological referrals form a large proportion of its referrals.

The Nuclear Medicine service is also provided by Department of Radiology at Changi General Hospital (CGH).

National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) has a comprehensive range of investigations to detect cardiovascular problems including the latest state-of-the art technology gamma camera technology for heart scans and a 320-slice cardiac computed tomography which reduces radiation exposure in a heart scan by 90%.
