Nuclear medicine is a specialty within the field of radiology that comprises diagnostic examinations that result in images of the body’s anatomy and function. These images are created based on the detection of energy emitted from a mild radioactive substance given to the patient, either intravenously or by mouth.

Typically, nuclear studies are performed in hospitals, which frequently means longer waits and possible scheduling issues. But not anymore! Now you can skip the long waits, uncomfortable lobbies and scheduling hassles. Vision Imaging of Kingston provides a warm, comfortable environment with a separate, private waiting area in our dedicated Nuclear Medicine Department.

Our main concerns are your health and comfort. We take extra steps to ensure your comfort every moment you’re with us. Our highly trained, compassionate staff of technologists and radiologists understands that no procedure is “routine,” and they will take the time to explain every step of the testing and what you can expect to sense throughout the test.

Nuclear medicine studies are highly successful for detecting tumors, stress fractures, irregular or inadequate blood flow, blood cell disorders, and problems with your organs, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, gallbladder and thyroid.

Vision Imaging of Kingston’s nuclear medicine department is accredited by the American College of Radiology for our Nuclear Medicine Department.
