Nuclear Medicine
Marcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital recently expanded its Radiology Department by adding Nuclear Medicine services. Nuclear Medicine imaging has been suggested as one of the best early diagnostic tools for the detection of certain diseases of the heart, thyroid and bone. In addition, it is useful in the detection of tumors and other organ disorders.
According to Sharon Whitaker, Radiology Director, “The addition of Nuclear Medicine will greatly expand the range of diagnostic services offered at our facility. It further demonstrates Marcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital’s commitment to provide patients with time saving procedures that promote more thorough and timely diagnostic results, especially for cardiac studies.”
Caption: Marcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital conducted its first Nuclear Medicine study on Thursday, January 29, 2009. Clarence Noland, Jr. was the first patient to receive a study, performed by Bill Anderson, Nuclear Medicine Technologist.
