  Nuclear Medicine: Illuminating the Depths of Medical Diagnosis and Treatment
  Author(s): Emanuela Gadaleta*
  
  Nuclear Medicine, at the intersection of technology, physics, and medicine, has redefined the landscape of medical science. This specialized field utilizes minute amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to delve into the molecular intricacies of diseases, transforming the way we diagnose and treat various medical conditions. This article explores the fundamental principles of Nuclear Medicine, highlighting its diagnostic and therapeutic applications, imaging techniques such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and its vital role in cancer imaging, cardiac assessments, bone scans, and thyroid disorders. The therapeutic realm of Nuclear Medicine extends beyond diagnostics, employing targeted therapies like Radioactive Iodine Therapy, Radiosynovectomy, and Radioembolization to deliver prec..
