The nuclear medicine department uses unsealed sources of radiation (radiopharmaceuticals) in the form of liquid, gases and capsuls to diagnose and treat patients referred from different clinical services. The nuclear medicine services diagnose problems based on how the radiopharmaceuticals are handed inside the body using small amounts of radioactive material. The radioactive material used is safe and is given in small quantities either directly or after being labeled with different pharmaceuticals (carriers) for different studies. The central radiopharmacy unit in our department supplies all nuclear medicine departments in Kuwait their needs from therapeutic and diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals.
The department is the first in Kuwait to have a PET unit which provides a diagnostic procedure for referred patients. The department has the only Cyclotron in Kuwait.
