Nuclear Medicine Centre

The NCSM Nuclear Medicine Centre, opened in 1998 is a centre for patients to undergo nuclear medicine imaging.

The centre is also widely recognised as medical specialists from other hospitals refer their patients to this centre for imaging procedures. Imaging assists in providing diagnosis on cancer spread (metastasis) in organs and bones before initiating surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Other scanning services provided include bone scans, renal DTPA, DMSA and thyroid scans.

How We Help Our Patients

  • Our rates are highly subsidised – which means that more patients are able to undergo nuclear imaging tests. At the moment, only six hospitals have this facility and we are the only non-profit centre to provide this service.
  • We have little or no-waiting list policy which allows patients to start treatment immediately, usually on the same day.
  • We are equipped with advanced machines that provide accurate images that will enable doctors to fight the cancer more efficiently.
