About

A department built on
diagnostic confidence.

The Nuclear Medicine department at Weill Cornell Medicine brings together decades of clinical expertise, cutting-edge molecular imaging technology, and a commitment to patient-centered care that defines the Weill Cornell standard.

Our physicians and technologists specialize in interpreting the subtle signals of metabolic and physiological processes — revealing disease at its earliest stages, guiding treatment with precision, and monitoring response with accuracy that conventional imaging cannot match.

Faculty-Led Care Board-certified physicians with academic appointments
Advanced Technology PET/CT and SPECT/CT systems from leading manufacturers
Research Integration Clinical trials and novel tracer development

Services

Diagnostic capabilities
designed for clarity.

01

PET/CT Imaging

Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography provides detailed metabolic and anatomical information for oncology, cardiology, and neurology applications.

  • FDG-PET for oncology staging
  • Cardiac viability assessment
  • Neurological disorder evaluation
02

SPECT/CT Imaging

Single-photon emission computed tomography with CT fusion delivers high-resolution functional imaging for bone, cardiac, thyroid, and renal studies.

  • Bone scintigraphy
  • Myocardial perfusion imaging
  • Thyroid and parathyroid studies
03

Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine

Targeted radionuclide therapies for conditions including thyroid disorders, neuroendocrine tumors, and palliative bone pain management.

  • I-131 thyroid therapy
  • PRRT for neuroendocrine tumors
  • Bone pain palliation
04

Specialized Studies

Comprehensive nuclear medicine procedures including renal dynamics, gallbladder ejection fraction, pulmonary ventilation/perfusion, and infection imaging.

  • Renal scan & diuretic study
  • V/Q lung scanning
  • Infection & inflammation imaging
Our Approach

Every scan begins
with a question.

We believe that the most meaningful diagnostic information emerges when technology serves clinical reasoning — not the other way around. Each nuclear medicine study at Weill Cornell is approached as a diagnostic problem requiring thoughtful protocol selection, meticulous acquisition, and expert interpretation.

01
Clinical Consultation

Your referring physician's clinical question guides our protocol selection and tracer choice.

02
Precision Acquisition

Board-certified technologists optimize image quality while adhering to ALARA principles for radiation safety.

03
Expert Interpretation

Faculty nuclear medicine physicians correlate imaging findings with clinical context for actionable reports.

04
Integrated Reporting

Results are communicated promptly to your referring physician with direct consultation available.
