Montpellier University Hospital's nuclear medicine teams

Imaging equipment available

The two branches of the Montpellier CHRU 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 provide a gain in 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's two nuclear medicine departments (CHRU Lapeyronie and Gui de Chauliac) are able to perform all diagnosticnuclear medicineprocedures 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: octreotide, MIBG, 18FDG, 18FDOPA, 18F-CHOLINE, 68Ga-DOTATOC), brain, lacrimal glands, salivary glands, stomach and oesophagus, lymphatic system, in vitro-labelled red cell scans, labelled polymorphonuclear scans, etc.). These departments also offer therapeutic treatment using vectorized radiotherapy for a wide range of pathologies (hyperthyroidism, craniopharyngiomas, lymphomas, synovyorthosis, etc.), as well as pre-operative sentinel lymph node screening.
