Lymphoscintigraphy

Nuclear medicine procedures like lymphoscintigraphy can sometimes be intimidating for young children. The injection can sting, and the gamma camera—which is large and looks strange—sometimes comes close to your child’s body while taking images.

And then there’s your child’s condition—the reason you’re here in the first place.

You’re concerned about your child health. What parent wouldn’t be? The last thing you want to worry about is how this imaging test is going to go.

We get it. And that’s why we’ve built our Division of Nuclear Medicine around concepts that work for kids.

We adapt our equipment and procedures to deliver the lowest possible radiation dose and obtain the best images possible. Our goal: making sure your child is as comfortable as possible during the lymphoscintigraphy procedure.
