Department of Nuclear Medicine
Specialized in: nuclear medicine About the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Clinic de Genolier Genolier
The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Clinic de Genolier Genolier offers the full range of modern high-precision diagnostics and effective treatment using radioisotopes. The clinical practice is focused on scintigraphy, SPECT-CT and PET-CT. The radioisotope medications are injected to the patient intravenously, after which a picture is obtained using a gamma camera or a PET-CT device. The department's doctors strictly meet current clinical protocols and radiation protection standards – the radiation dose during the examination of this specialization is equal to the radiation dose in conventional X-ray scanning. The department is headed by Dr med. Jean-Pierre Papazyan.
One of the most important fields of the department's work is scintigraphy. The examination process takes place in a special scintillation gamma camera. Scintigraphy can be used to assess kidney function, bone tissue, lungs, thyroid and parathyroid glands, as well as myocardium. The department's doctors also specialize in brain scintigraphy, for example, in the cases of suspected Parkinson's disease.
PET-CT scanning is also among the department's priorities. This diagnostic method can be used for the detection of oncological, cardiological and neurological diseases. In addition, PET-CT is effective for the detection of infection foci in the body. When performing oncological diagnostics, PET-CT allows the doctors not only to detect a malignant tumor and its metastases in other organs, but also to assess the effectiveness of cancer treatment. The PET-CT technique can also be used for therapeutic purposes, namely for the treatment of cancer pathologies. The technique is used for the detection of cancer cells, which should be irradiated. After this, the patient will be administered the radioactive pharmaceuticals. These drugs are specific for the type of cells, which must be destroyed. Some types of therapy can be performed on an outpatient basis, without hospitalization.
The department's range of medical services includes:
- Scintigraphy

- Myocardial scintigraphy
- Kidney scintigraphy
- Thyroid and parathyroid scintigraphy
