The nuclear medicine sector collaborates with the EU through a variety of projects, which seek to identify opportunities and challenges for the use and development of ionising radiation and in order to discuss potential solutions to address challenges in areas where the EU can add value.
With about 500 million of these procedures carried out annually in the EU, it is by far the most widespread medical application of radiation. Nuclear medicine uses radioactive substances, mostly to diagnose cancer, as well as cardiac and other diseases.
Since the IAEA began its work in human health, the use of nuclear techniques in medicine has become one of the most widespread peaceful applications of atomic energy. This package contains a selection of examples of project outcomes of the IAEA Division of Human Health (NAHU).
11 Ιουν 2010 · Nuclear medicine is a specialty of medicine that focuses on the use of radiation to diagnose and treat diseases. It is based on the use of radioactive materials and radioisotopes, which emit ionizing radiation, to examine the body and/or treat diseases.
10 Νοε 2008 · The key areas of concern are discussed. Studies of actual health effects, especially thyroid cancers, following exposures are assessed. Radiation hormesis is explained, pointing out that beneficial effects are expected following a low dose or dose rate because protective responses against stresses are stimulated.
Nuclear technology and applications. Health. To address needs related to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of health conditions, in particular non-communicable diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, the application of nuclear techniques play an imperative role.
Nuclear medicine is a highly multi-disciplinary specialty that develops and uses instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals to study physiological processes and non-invasively diagnose, stage, 1 and treat diseases.
