Gamma camera and SPECT reporting

5C Network reports gamma camera and SPECT studies remotely for centres across India through its Nuclear Medicine Centre of Excellence, led by Dr. Ajit Shinto. Bone scans, thyroid scans, renal DTPA and DMSA studies, HIDA scans and myocardial perfusion studies are read and signed by credentialed nuclear medicine physicians.

Clinical lead: Dr. Ajit S. Shinto ·

Studies we report

Bone scan

Whole-body skeletal scintigraphy

Thyroid scan

Thyroid uptake and imaging

Renal DTPA and DMSA

Renal function and cortical scarring

HIDA scan

Hepatobiliary function

Myocardial perfusion

Cardiac rest and stress studies

The same standard as PET-CT

Gamma camera studies are read by the same panel of nuclear medicine physicians, to the same standard, as the Centre's PET-CT work. A bone scan in a district hospital gets the same specialist read as one in a metro cancer centre.

Studies arrive over standard DICOM with the clinical question and any prior scans. The report comes back signed, answering the question that was asked.

Frequently asked questions

Who reports gamma camera scans at 5C Network?
Credentialed nuclear medicine physicians in 5C's Nuclear Medicine Centre of Excellence. Gamma camera and SPECT studies are not reported by the general radiology network.
Which gamma camera studies does 5C report?
Whole-body bone scans, thyroid uptake and imaging, renal DTPA and DMSA studies, HIDA hepatobiliary scans and myocardial perfusion studies. For another study, ask us.
Why use a remote service for gamma camera reporting?
India has about 350 SPECT and gamma cameras and roughly 800 nuclear medicine physicians across all of nuclear medicine. Many gamma cameras sit in centres that cannot keep a nuclear medicine physician full-time. Remote reporting gives those centres a specialist read without a local hire.
How are gamma camera reports priced?
Per study type, quoted per centre. Tell us your study mix and volumes through the form on this page.
