The Department of Nuclear Medicine is proud for the fact that all of the faculty members perform the most advanced researches in both the basic nuclear medicine and clinical nuclear medicine.

The research topics in the basic nuclear medicine include the development of new radiopharmaceuticals for the brain, heart, and tumor imaging, and cancer therapy and development of new technologies for quantification and analysis of nuclear imaging. The clinical nuclear medicine researches include the development of diagnostic modalities for detection of cancer metastasis, tumor recurrence, brain mapping, cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, and therapeutic methods for rheumatoid arthritis and coronary artery disease.

By using 10 state-of-the-art Gamma cameras, including PET and Fusion PET (PET/CT), we are performing 30,000 of image testing, 700,000 of In vitro lab with the help of RIA (Radioimmunoassay) and 1,000 radio isotope treatments in each year.
