Northern Arizona Radiology Adds Outpatient Nuclear Medicine Capabilities
Imaging center now offers full range of diagnostic molecular imaging tests
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Doctors in Northern Arizona now have a powerful new tool to
diagnose, treat, and manage a wide variety of diseases. Northern Arizona Radiology is the
newest facility in the Flagstaff area to use a state-of-the-art molecular camera to capture high
quality medical images.
The Siemens e.cam gamma camera scans as close to the patient as possible to produce images of
exceptional quality and detail. Patients can be imaged on an outpatient basis and do not have to
be admitted to the hospital. Medical imaging with Northern Arizona Radiology’s new equipment
allows physicians to provide an array of diagnostic imaging procedures, including:

Bone scans

Thyroid uptake and parathyroid

Lymphoscintigraphy

Muga scans

Renal scan

Spect scan

Gastric emptying

Gallbladder
“Molecular imaging continues to be a very important diagnostic tool for physicians by providing
outstanding results in detecting cancers, breast lesions, heart disease and neurological
conditions,” said Edward P. Herman, M.D., a radiologist at Northern Arizona Radiology. “We
are very excited to offer our patients and the local medical community access to this cutting edge
technology. The more information they have, the better informed and more proactive their
treatment plans can be.”
The camera can be positioned to generate a 180-, 90-, or 76-degree image. The flexibility of the
design to capture any area of the body means patients experience maximum comfort during their
outpatient procedure. The e.cam also features a motorized bed that lowers to a height of 19
inches allowing patients up to 400 pounds to easily and safely access it.
Northern Arizona Radiology offers state-of-the-art medical imaging in a comfortable, convenient
location with same-day scheduling available for most exams. All exams are interpreted locally
by experienced, board-certified radiologists who work closely with referring providers, ensuring
the highest quality care at a fraction of the cost of hospital-based exams. For more information,
