What is nuclear medicine? Nuclear medicine is a division of medical imaging that detects and treats diseases and irregularities in the body such as cancer and neurological illnesses through the use of radioactive chemicals. The techniques used in nuclear medicine allow physicians to attain knowledge about patient conditions without the invasion of personal space through procedures such as biopsies. The equipment and machines used within this branch are important for research as they allow for a better
