The efficient scintigraphy offers a cost-effective diagnostic procedure which has already been established for years. Core areas are the diagnosis of the thyroid (in correlation with sonography, biopsy and in vitro), the total body bone scintigraphy and the diagnosis of the cardiovascular system (eg. coronary SPECT/CT).

Nuclear medicine can be used complementarily as a non-invasive and cost-reducing examination in PET/CT diagnostics.
