The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) today laid the grounds for the construction of a nuclear medicine center that will help make cancer diagnosis and treatment more affordable.

Nuclear medicine refers to a medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiopharmaceuticals. Injected to a patient, these radiophramaceuticals produce images and are tracked by physicians through the use of specially designed cameras. Images of target tissues produced by these radiopharmaceuticals help physicians diagnose or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart diseases, and certain other abnormalities within the body.
