1. NMD, LGH
NMD, LGH is a Nuclear Medicine department in Limassol General Hospital that was opened in January
2006. NMD, LGH offers the latest in nuclear medicine technology to diagnose disease earlier and more
accurately. A skilled team of Nuclear Medicine professionals uses the appropriate material to help identify
abnormalities very early in the progression of disease, allowing for a better prognosis.
Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of medicine, which uses small amounts of radioactive materials to
examine organ function and structure. Nuclear medicine procedures are painless and do not require
anaesthesia. Patients are given a radioactive substance called a radioisotope either orally or by injection.
The absorption process lasts anywhere from two to four hours. The level of radiation in the medication is
very low and not harmful to the patient, the amount used is comparable to that received during an X-ray.
Depending on the type of scan, the patient is scanned immediately or once the medication is fully
absorbed.
Nearly 30 nuclear medicine imaging procedures are used to diagnose a variety of ailments including
thyroid, kidney and heart function, and measure the effectiveness of PTCA or bypass surgery, extent of
tumours, etc. Children often undergo nuclear medicine procedures to evaluate bone pain, injuries,
infection, kidney and bladder function.
NMD, LGH covers the whole spectrum of medical diagnostic and investigational use of "unsealed"
radio nuclides, plus their therapeutic applications on outpatients. NMD, LGH is committed to it’s a safe
practice and high quality service. The mean Nuclear Medicine therapies developed are:
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)

The department has 140 m2 to develop Nuclear Medicine activities
