The Department of Nuclear Medicine Started in the year 1992 with a single head planar Gamma Camera, In 2001 it was updated it to single head SPECT Gamma Camera.With this update the work load almost doubled

The Department of Nuclear Medicine is equipped with state-of-the-art Gamma Camera, offering a wide range of non-invasive diagnostic facilities with short half-life ISOTOPE 99 mm

• Bone Scan
