Integrated MSc & PhD in Molecular Nuclear Medicine

Overview

Nuclear Medicine is the branch of medical science which utilizes radioisotopes for the diagnosis and management of different disorders including cancers. Nuclear Imaging is the principal modality of functional and molecular imaging. Radioisotope therapy is an essential component for the management of Thyroid cancers, Thyrotoxicosis, Neuroendocrine Tumors, Prostate Cancer, Painful bone metastases, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Lymphoma and many other disorders. Newer Radiopharmaceuticals are being developed and newer indications are listed. This is a field of medicine which demands the involvement of all basic sciences ranging from Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology to Statistics and Computer science and amalgamates all with Clinical Medicine. The combination of IIT, Kharagpur and Tata Medical Center is going to be the best possible combination and the most ideal platform for structured and practical application based learning in this field.
