Welcome to Nuclear MD.com
" you are scintillating"
NuclearMD.com is a personal website I
created in 2005, while working at St.
Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center in New
York City, as an avenue to share lecture
slides and teaching file cases with the
Nuclear Medicine and Radiology
residents. It has seen more than 20,000 hits
since then and has expanded to become a
tool for case based learning in Nuclear
Medicine especially for residents
preparing for the ABR and ABNM exams.

Scintigraphic imaging techniques use the “tracer principle” to study
physiological processes. These techniques are very sensitive in
recognizing changes in physiology or function being looked at or
evaluated, but do not generally have good anatomical resolution. Fusion
of these images to anatomic studies, (like CT or MRI) now acquired on
hybrid PET-CT and SPECT-CT scanners, provides the “best of both
worlds” or an optimal combination of anatomy and physiology in one
scan, also dubbed as “one stop shop imaging”.
The mission of this site is “to further case based learning in scintigraphic
imaging techniques, using hybrid imaging modalities like PET-CT and
SPECT-CT”. In the relatively new Case-of-the-month feature, interesting
case reports are published under the category of General NM, Nuclear
Cardiology, and PET-CT imaging. Images from other related imaging
modalities are also presented for multidisciplinary learning.
As I continue to expand and improve this site to meet the educational
needs of today’s residents, I invite your feedback through an online
survey.
