The objectives of the diagnostic department of the Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève (HUG) (comprising 9 medical services) are to provide high-quality medical diagnostics, therapeutic products, therapeutic acts, and specialized clinical consultations, in the shortest possible time and at an acceptable cost, to guide patient care and contribute to therapeutic decisions and actions. It develops a clear vision: to unite and be a center of excellence in medico-technical disciplines for the benefit of patient care.
The nuclear medicine and molecular imaging service has the primary mission of providing clinical diagnostic services using molecular imaging technologies, particularly those using radioactive sources administrable to patients. In addition to the services provided by other HUG departments, it uses radioisotopes for therapeutic purposes and for certain laboratory tests. It offers scintigraphy examinations, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), or positron emission tomography (PET or "PET scan"). The service also develops new tracers and biomarkers applicable to molecular imaging and provides, through specific devices (X-rays, ultrasound), services for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and the evaluation of body composition.
