Patients who visit the nuclear medicine department of Medical Center Barbour can now experience faster scan times and better quality images. The older single head camera has been replaced by an Adac Dual Head Camera. This new camera has the capability to examine two different views of the same image which results in the quicker scan times and better quality images. Some of the tests performed in Nuclear Medicine include: Stress/Rest Cardiac test for the heart, Hida Scan for liver and gallbladder, Perfusion/Ventilation for the lungs, and many more.

With the addition of the Adac camera, patients can have their nuclear medicine tests performed right here at home without the long drive out of town.
