administrator
Carelius said recently,
Carelius explained
nuclear- medicine is a

diagnostic tool with a wide ©

variety of applications,

particularly in cancer in- .

vestigation. The concept
involves the use of

substances that are ‘‘tag- |
with radioactive

ged”

markers. In the labo-

ratory, nuclear medicine _
can be used to analyze
blood samples for the

presence and quantity of

‘substances such as drugs

and hormones.
These substances can
also be injected into a pa-

‘tient and used to create

images of internal parts of

‘the body. .when’ scanned -
with a special camera. As ©
an example, Carelius said, —

radioactive iodine

-becomes concentrated: in
- population about equal to
ithe local region and

the thyroid gland; other

elements can be used to’
obtain scans of . bone, -
heart, lungs, kidneys and

other specific areas. -

These properties, he

said, are especially useful
in post-operative examina- ”

tions of cancer patients
and for victims of
pulmonary embolism,

Information obtained
from Trail Regional
‘Hospital; which services a

Teceived a nuclear
medicine installation four
years ago, indicates the
service would be. self-

liquidating. The Trail
hospital

is doing an
average of 500 laboratory
procedures and just under

-Carelius said the cost of

- Putting ¢ the technology in

scans per.

Mills Memorial would |
come to about $400,000 .
for equipment and reno-
vations, and the service
would require two full-
time technicians and two
other staff to operate. The
Ministry of Health; “he
noted, will require Mills

study will be completed -

port, he said, have been
received from "hospitals i in
