Conditions Treated

Utilising high-tech nuclear medicine, Gleneagles Hospitals, Chennai manages complex conditions. Cellular-level imaging provides a comprehensive health overview, facilitating prompt, accurate detection. 

• Cancer: Nuclear imaging plays a critical role in tumour detection, staging, evaluation of treatment response, and monitoring of recurrence. PET-CT and other radionuclide scans are commonly used for cancers of the thyroid, prostate, breast, lungs, bones, and lymphatic system.
• Thyroid Disorders: Radioisotope scans help diagnose hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. Radioiodine therapy effectively treats overactive thyroid tissue and certain thyroid malignancies while preserving surrounding healthy structures.
• Cardiac Diseases: We use heart imaging to check the blood flow to your heart muscle, helping us diagnose heart disease and manage any chest pain you may be experiencing.
• Neurological Disorders: Brain scans help us support patients with dementia or Parkinson’s by assessing how the brain uses energy and regulates blood flow.
• Bone Disorders: Our bone scans can detect tiny fractures or early signs of arthritis, often well before they appear on a standard X-ray.
• Kidney and Liver Conditions: We use nuclear scans to assess how well your organs are functioning, helping your doctors make the right treatment decisions.

With clear diagnosis and a care plan tailored to you, we help you get back to the activities you love.
