Nuclear Medicine - Radionuclide Imaging

Nuclear medicine imaging uses radionuclides or radioisotopes.

Radionuclide scan

• FSN: Radionuclide scan of X (procedure)

• PT: Radionuclide scan of X

• SYN: Radioisotope scan of X

  • For example,

    • 710313004 | Radionuclide scan of peritoneal cavity (procedure)|

      • FSN: Radionuclide scan of peritoneal cavity (procedure)

      • PT: Radionuclide scan of peritoneal cavity

      • SYN: Radioisotope scan of peritoneal cavity

Radionuclide scan using isotopes (with other agents)

• FSN: Radionuclide scan of X using Y (procedure)

• PT: Radionuclide scan of X using Y

• SYN: Radioisotope scan of X using Y

  • For example,

    • 710312009 | Radionuclide scan of perfusion of liver using technetium Tc^99m^ aggregated albumin (procedure)|

      • FSN: Radionuclide scan of perfusion of liver using technetium Tc^99m^ aggregated albumin (procedure)

      • PT: Radionuclide scan of perfusion of liver using technetium Tc^99m^ aggregated albumin

      • SYN: Radioisotope scan of perfusion of liver using technetium Tc^99m^ aggregated albumin
