Nuclear
medicine is the use of open radioactive sources for diagnostics and
therapy.
Nuclear medicine was
established as a new academic discipline at the Section for radiology
at the Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Bergen in
March 2006.
At Haukeland University Hospital,
nuclear medicine is part of the Department of Radiology. We perform all
nuclear medicine procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, in the
county of Hordaland.
In addition we are responsible for more advanced methods both on a
regional and a national level.
In 2008, nuclear medicine
move into our new integrated center
for nuclear medicine and PET.
The PET-center includes our own cyclotron and radiopharmaceutical
production unit as well as a PET-CT with a 40-slice CT.
