Nuclear Medicine Breast Lymphoscintigraphy. A radioactive material has been injected into the breast tissue (the large dark area in the right of each picture) in a patient with breast cancer. The injected drug then moves in the lymph channels to the lymph nodes in the arm pit ('axilla'), seen here as a string of black dots. These will be removed at surgery and examined for the possible presence of tumor cells. The results will help determine the patient's treatment choices.

This is a normal nuclear cardiac study. The heart is displayed in multiple views after both rest and stress. Radiologists look for differences between rest and stress that would suggest problems with the coronary arteries.

A nuclear medicine DMSA image of the kidneys in a 5-year old child demonstrates a wedge-shaped defect in the right kidney, representing an area of non-functioing tissue. This may indicate an area of infection or infarcted (dead) tissue.
