Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (SPECT)
Uses tracers like ^{99m}Tc-MIBI and ^{99m}Tc-Tetrofosmin to assess myocardial viability and detect ischemia.
Gated Blood Pool Study (MUGA Scan)
Evaluates left ventricular function and is used for early detection of cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy.
Cardiac Amyloidosis
Involves the use of DPD Scintigraphy with radiolabeled phosphate derivatives.
Nephrology Functional Imaging Tracers
Includes Ortho-iodohippurate (OIH), ^{99m}Tc-MAG3, and ^{99m}Tc-EC for tubular secretion.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Tracer
The tracer used is ^{99m}Tc-DTPA.
Static Renal Imaging Tracer
Uses ^{99m}Tc-DMSA for cortical imaging.
Advanced Bone Imaging (PET/CT) Tracers
Includes ^{18}F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) and ^{18}F-FDG for inflammation and infection.
Bone Marrow Imaging
Utilizes ^{99m}Tc-antigranulocyte antibodies and Fe-citrate for detecting hematopoietic tissue.
Pulmonary Imaging Perfusion Tracer
Uses ^{99m}Tc-MAA for lung perfusion imaging.
RBC Mass Measurement
Measured using Chromium-51 (^{51}Cr).
