The Department of Nuclear Medicine at AIMS is equipped with a modern, state-of-the-art, dual head Gamma Camera, and an online computer system including the accessories and collimators for imaging different radio isotopes with varying energy levels. The Gamma Camera images the Gamma rays emitting from the patient who has been injected with minute quantities of a radioactive tracer bonded to various test specific pharmaceuticals.

This radio-tagging is done in the Nuclear Medicine Pharmacy, also known as the HOT LAB, where the radio pharmaceuticals are prepared and dispensed daily. This well-equipped and efficiently organised Nuclear Medicine pharmacy is used for the safe storage and aseptic preparation of the radio pharmaceuticals. Sensitive radiation survey meters and a dose calibrator in the HOT LAB ensure the safe administration of radio iodine to the patients being treated for hyperthyroidism.
