Nuclear Medicine

•  PET/CT examinations

•  outpatient services for thyroid patients

•  special radioisotope treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the thyroid gland

The PET/CT scan, which is offered exclusively and for the first time in the Republic of Cyprus, is a combination of Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which enables us to receive high quality and accurate images.

The necessary radioactive substances for imaging are produced within our Institute in the listed system BG-75. 

The Ward consists of five spacious and comfortable single rooms, each one of which has access to a radioactive-protected garden. This means that patients do not need to be confined to their rooms and can get some fresh air, enjoy a brief walk in the yard, and socialize with other patients. 

Here, we offer treatments for benign and malignant thyroid diseases with radioactive iodine, including high-dose treatments to patients with distant metastases.

We also carry out treatments with radioactive radium (Xofigo®, administered for bone metastases to patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer. The combination of diagnosis and treatment is the basis of the innovative Theragnostics approach provided by our department.

The GMI is one of the very few Cancer Centers worldwide which offers pioneering treatments with radioactive lutetium for neuroendocrine tumors (177LU-DOTATATE), and for the treatment of metastases for castration resistant prostate cancer 177Lu-PSMA.
