What we can offer
Our services
PET/CT Imaging: Advanced Diagnostic Imaging
Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is a state-of-the-art imaging technique that combines the functional insight of PET with the anatomical detail of CT. This powerful fusion allows detection of disease activity—such as cancer spread or recurrence—with exceptional accuracy. PET/CT is vital for staging, assessing treatment response, and guiding care decisions. Our experienced team ensures each scan is performed in a comfortable, reassuring environment, with clear communication at every step for a confident, informed experience.
General Nuclear Medicine: Functional Insight
Also known as gamma scintigraphy, these scans provide a unique look at how organs and tissues function on a cellular level. Common uses include evaluating the blood flow and muscle function of the heart, investigating bone pain, and assessing kidney or thyroid function. Using safe, trace amounts of radiotracers, our team produces detailed functional images to help your referring doctor make accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions, with your comfort and wellbeing prioritized at every step
Radionuclide Therapies: Targeted Treatment
We provide advanced therapies that deliver precise doses of therapeutic radiation directly to diseased cells, limiting exposure to healthy tissue. Our treatment options include:
- Thyroid Disease: Radioactive iodine for benign and malignant conditions.
- Prostate Cancer: Lu-177 PSMA RLT and Radium-223 dichloride.
- Neuroendocrine Tumours: Lu-177 DOTATATE PRRT (Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy).
Working closely with your oncology team, we tailor each therapy to your individual needs, delivering safe, effective, and compassionate care throughout your treatment.
