Introduction of the Department
As for diagnostic tests, conducted for detection of the presence or absence of disease, they are divided into the in-vitro test in which a radioactive isotope or radioactive drug is administered to the body to examine the body's region of interest and the ecsomatics in which a small amount of blood or body fluid is used to measure the concentration of the substance in the body. In the case of imaging tests, SPECT and PET-CTemd have been offered. In the field of ecsomatics testing, it offers RIA in which test specimens are collected from a patient and then, let them react with radioactive isotopes and quantitatively measure only the desired substance, and IRMA. They are widely used because of their excellent sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and so on. In the field of therapy, radioactive isotope therapy using radioactive iodine is performed after surgical treatment of thyroid cancer.
