It is a clinical base of the scientific subdivision of the Department of Nuclear Medicine.

Main areas of clinical activities of the department are as follows:

• Myocardial scintigraphy, assessment of central hemodynamics, myocardial contractility and perfusion in patients with coronary artery disease and non-coronarogenic heart damage according to functional tests at rest and stress.
• Performance of dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys to study functional state of the kidneys.
• The evaluation of the pulmonary ad central hemodynamics in patients with acute myocardial infarction, congenital and acquired heart diseases.
• Scintigraphic studies of the liver, lungs, skeletal system, etc.
• Computed tomography of the congenital heart diseases, coronary artery diseases, evaluation of states of coronary stents and bypasses in patients who underwent myocardial revascularization.
• Computed tomography of major and peripheral vessels.

List of methods of studies:

1.1. radionuclide methods of study:

• ECG-synchronized SPECT of the myocardium with 99mTc-Technetril in stress test and at rest (preparation: avoiding caffeine- and potassium-rich foods from the day before the study)
• Scintigraphy pf the myocardium with 99mTc-pyrophosphate
• Radionuclide equilibrium ventriculography;
• Lung perfusion scintigraphy
• Thyroid scintigraphy (preparation: avoiding intake of iodine-containing drugs for 30 days prior to the date of the study)
• Salivary gland scintigraphy (sialoscintigraphy)
• Parathyroid scintigraphy
• Static scintigraphy of the liver
• Dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys
• Radionuclide cardiopulmonary angiography
• Osteoscintigraphy
• Lymphoscintigraphy

1.2. Multislice Helical Computed Tomography (MHCT) studies

• MHCT-coronarography (coronary bypass angiography)
• Са-scoring (indexing of coronary caclium)
• MHCT-aortography
• MHCT-ventriculography
• MHCT of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium
• MHCT of thoracic organs
• MHCT of carotid arteries and cerebral blood vessels
• MHCT of lower extremities
