Nuclear Radiologist
Dr. William L. Higgins is a Nuclear Radiologist in Baltimore, MD
with special training and skill in using radioactive materials - radiopharmaceuticals - to produce images of patients' organs that help a nuclear medicine physician diagnose disease.
As a Nuclear Radiologist, William L. Higgins, MD performs
imaging of body organs using radiopharmaceuticals. Nuclear Radiology is
a method of producing images by detecting radiation from different parts of the body after a radioactive tracer is given to the patient. Significant diseases and conditions treated by
Nuclear Radiologists include hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, or painful bone metastases.
Medical tests, procedures and therapies provided by Nuclear Radiologists
include scintigraphy, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA), radioactive iodine thyroid scan.
A radiologist who is involved in the analysis and imaging of radionuclides and radiolabeled substances in vitro and in vivo for diagnosis and the administration of radionuclides and radiolabeled substances for the treatment of disease.
