Nuclear Medicine
Imaging at the molecular level.
Nuclear medicine harnesses tiny amounts of radiotracers to visualize physiology and metabolism in real time — from staging cancer with PET/CT to evaluating cardiac perfusion, thyroid disease, bone pathology, and beyond. Our subspecialists interpret the full breadth of nuclear and molecular imaging studies and partner with referring oncologists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists to guide treatment decisions and targeted radiotheranostics.
- PET/CT oncology imaging
- Bone scintigraphy
- Thyroid scans & uptakes
- Cardiac perfusion (MPI)
- SPECT/CT & gastric emptying
- Theranostics (Y-90, Lu-177)
Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Institute
The Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Institute — a partnership with Mary Bird Perkins — is the most comprehensive cancer program in Louisiana, offering screening, surgical, medical, and radiation oncology under one roof. Our nuclear medicine subspecialists are integral to that program, providing PET/CT staging and treatment-response imaging, bone scintigraphy for metastatic disease, theranostics such as Y-90 radioembolization for liver tumors and Lu-177 PSMA therapy for advanced prostate cancer, and active participation in the multidisciplinary tumor boards that drive treatment planning. Through this partnership, patients across the Gulf South receive molecular and image-guided cancer care at a level rivaling the nation’s leading academic centers.
