Nuclear medicine services



Nuclear medicine involves using radioactivity to diagnose and treat a wide variety of disorders in people of all ages. The department also provides a DEXA service for bone density measurement.

The service is one of the busiest in the UK, routinely performing a wide range of nuclear medicine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. We work in close liaison with the referring consultants as well as the radiology and haematology departments, the neuroendocrine unit and other clinical specialists within the hospital to provide a comprehensive clinical nuclear medicine service.

Location

The nuclear medicine department is located on the ground floor at the Royal Free Hospital.
