Montpellier University Hospital's nuclear medicine departments

 

Imaging equipment available

The two branches of the Montpellier University Hospital nuclear medicine department have renewed all their imaging equipment between 2013 and 2021. They are now equipped with two positron emission cameras coupled to an X-ray scanner, three gamma cameras coupled to an X-ray scanner (including one with wide-field CZT detectors), a solid-state gamma camera dedicated to cardiology examinations, and a bone densitometer. This high-tech equipment enables us to offer patients and prescribing physicians imaging services that meet the most stringent international quality criteria. In particular, this equipment enables multimodal imaging exploration (coupled scintigraphy and X-ray tomography) to be carried out whenever these innovative techniques offer improved sensitivity or specificity (PET, bone scans, cardiac scans, oncology scans, etc.).A dedicated CZT camera is also available for all isotopic cardiology examinations, enabling exhaustive exploration (stress, rest and redistribution examinations for perfusion tracers, rhythmological examinations, etc.) with optimized examination times.

 

Scintigraphic examinations offered at Montpellier University Hospital

Montpellier University Hospital 's two nuclear medicine departments (CHU Lapeyronie and Gui de Chauliac) are able to carry out all diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures under optimized conditions, in particular bone scans (SPECT-CT and PET-CT), cardiac (perfusion, tomoventriculography, MIBG, viability), pulmonary, thyroid, para-thyroid, renal including isotopic clearance measurements, adrenal, oncology scans (SPECT and PET: MIBG, 18FDG, 18FDOPA, 18F-CHOLINE, 68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-PSMA), brain, lacrimal glands, salivary glands, stomach and esophagus, lymphatic system, scans with in vitro-labeled red blood cells, labeled polynuclear cells, etc.).

These departments also offer therapeutic management by internal radiotherapy of numerous non-neoplastic pathologies (hyperthyroidism, craniopharyngiomas, synoviorthoses, etc.), as well as pre-operative sentinel lymph node screening.

Finally, in collaboration with the interventional radiology department at CHU St Eloi, the department offers internal vectorized radiotherapy (IVR) of hepatic neoplastic lesions.
