Overview

Discover Excellence in Nuclear Medicine

The Nuclear Medicine Department at Mahatma Gandhi University of Medical Sciences & Technology is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advanced diagnostic imaging, molecular research, and targeted radionuclide therapy.

The department combines cutting-edge imaging technologies with a multidisciplinary team of qualified specialists to deliver precise, patient-centred care. Equipped with two PET/CT scanners and a high-performance SPECT system, the department provides comprehensive functional imaging services for oncology, cardiology, neurology, and other specialties. The PET-CT units support high-resolution, quantitative imaging, enabling accurate disease staging, treatment planning, and monitoring of therapy.

A wide range of radiopharmaceuticals is available, including F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for metabolic imaging and Gallium-68-based tracers for receptor imaging, viz., neuroendocrine tumors, prostate cancer, insulinoma, parathyroid, etc. The facility also conducts radionuclide therapy, offering targeted treatments such as I-131 for thyroid disorders, and other personalized radiotherapeutic procedures under strict radiation safety supervision, such as Lu-177 therapies for neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer, and metastatic bone pain palliation.

The department is also an academic centre, offering rigorous postgraduate programs – MD in Nuclear Medicine for medical graduates and MSc in Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) for non-medical graduates.

These programs emphasize academic excellence, hands-on clinical exposure, and research skill development, preparing graduates for leadership roles in nuclear medicine practice and innovations.

Through its integrated approach to imaging, therapy, and education, the Nuclear Medicine Department serves as a centre of excellence advancing precision medicine and translational research in healthcare.
