The Value of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging By Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging www.snmmi.org George Segall Chief of Nuclear Medicine Services, Department of Veterans’ Affairs Nuclear medicine has changed the way physicians are able to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of diseases. Moving beyond static anatomical images of the organs that only show structure, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging give physicians access to unique information about how organs are actually functioning. This additional information allows us to create, monitor and tailor treatment plans for patients that can result in better, safer, and more cost-effective care.
