“What is Nuclear Medicine?”

Gabriel Soudry, M.D., Director, Section of Nuclear Medicine, Medstar Health

“When I meet new people and say that I am a Nuclear Medicine specialist, most have no idea of what I do. Yet 17 millions of Nuclear Medicine procedures are performed every year in the United States. I will explain in simple terms the basic principles of Nuclear Imaging. Then I will show a few examples of commonly performed studies and what unique information they bring to the diagnosis of the patients. I will keep the presentation short to allow ample time for questions.” – Dr. Soudry
