The Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at GKNM boasts a cutting-edge facility that provides a diverse array of nuclear medicine procedures catering to various medical specialties such as General |medicine, Paediatrics, Oncology, Cardiology, Surgery, and Neurology. This highly sophisticated branch of medicine utilizes radioactive isotopes for both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic interventions. The images produced through Nuclear Medicine deliver functional insights at the molecular and cellular levels, enabling precise disease diagnosis in both adults and children.
At GKNMH we have a Gamma probe to perform sentinel node procedures. We were the first hospital in Coimbatore to offer this cutting edge technology to our cancer patients. At present we are routinely doing sentinel node biopsy for early stage breast cancer, penile cancer, endometrial cancer, oral cancer and melanoma.
