Radiation Therapy is a precise cancer treatment using high-energy radiation (X-rays, protons) to damage cancer cell DNA, preventing them from dividing and growing. Over 20 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have no access to radiotherapy. Modern Nuclear Medicine, however, is not limited to the traditional concept of Radiation Therapy. Nuclear Medicine uses small amounts of radioactive materials to visualize, diagnose, and study how the body functions at a molecular level. By combining advanced imaging technologies with targeted tracers, it helps clinicians detect diseases earlier, understand complex conditions more clearly, and guide more precise treatment decisions. |
