Nuclear Medicine
Safety and Reliability
Welcome to the Nuclear Medicine Service of Hospital Ruber Internacional!
In our service, we employ non-invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques to gain a detailed molecular-level understanding of your health.
We use the most advanced diagnostic technology to provide you with cutting-edge medical care. Among our most notable procedures is Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a revolutionary tool that has transformed the detection of tumor lesions. Thanks to this state-of-the-art technology, we can now identify very small tumor lesions that were previously nearly impossible to detect.
Our top priority is ensuring the safety of our patients and medical staff, which is why we adhere to strict standards and procedures for the safe use of radiopharmaceuticals.
Through procedures such as scintigraphy and PET, we can evaluate the functioning of your organs, detect the presence of diseases, and monitor the effectiveness of the treatments you are receiving.
Our team of expert Nuclear Medicine physicians and our highly qualified staff work hand-in-hand with other medical specialists to ensure a comprehensive approach to your medical care.
At Hospital Ruber Internacional, we take pride in our modern facilities and cutting-edge technology, which enable us to provide you with high-quality Nuclear Medicine services.
On this page, you can find information about our services and our medical team. If you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment, our team is here to assist you.
Excellence in Nuclear Medicine.
Cutting-Edge Early Disease Detection
We perform early detection of various diseases, providing a unique and detailed view of the body’s internal functioning.
Through the safe use of radiopharmaceuticals and the most advanced imaging diagnostic technology available, we identify conditions that would otherwise be difficult to diagnose using conventional methods.
Some of the primary diseases we diagnose in the Nuclear Medicine Service include:
- Alzheimer's Disease
We can assess brain function and detect changes associated with this neurodegenerative disease.
- Goiter
We detect and evaluate potential thyroid gland issues, such as abnormal enlargement.
- Colon, Rectal, Prostate, Liver, and Lung Cancer
We offer a precise view of tumor extent and activity, aiding in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of these cancers.
- Ischemic Heart Disease
We identify areas of reduced blood flow in the heart, helping to diagnose coronary artery disease.
- Infective Endocarditis
We provide information on the presence and extent of infections in the heart valves.
- Multiple Myeloma
We help evaluate tumor activity in the bone marrow, contributing to the diagnosis and monitoring of this hematological disease.
- Thyroid Nodules
We can characterize thyroid nodules, distinguishing between benign and malignant ones.
- Parkinson's Disease
We provide details on brain function, aiding in the diagnosis of this neurological condition.
- Infarctions
We can detect areas of reduced blood flow in the heart or brain due to an infarction.
- Graves' Disease
We contribute to evaluating thyroid gland activity in this autoimmune condition.

Excellence in Healthcare.
Nuclear Medicine has been fundamental in advancing the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is considered the most advanced technique for the early diagnosis of this condition.
Thanks to this innovative technology, it is possible to predict whether a patient will develop Alzheimer’s with remarkable anticipation, up to 20 or 30 years in advance. At Hospital Ruber Internacional, we are equipped with PET systems that enable precise and rapid testing, facilitating early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. In the Nuclear Medicine Service, we take pride in being part of this breakthrough in the detection and management of Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that affects a large number of people worldwide. It is the leading cause of dementia and generates high rates of disability and social costs. Therefore, having the ability to perform an early diagnosis is of vital importance to provide timely treatment and improve the quality of life for affected patients.
We are committed to providing excellence in medical care.
Our commitment is to provide top-tier medical care supported by advanced technology in an environment of care and understanding. The satisfaction and well-being of our patients are our top priorities, and we take pride in being one of the most highly rated Nuclear Medicine Services by patients.
We highlight our specialized room for thyroid cancer treatments and hospital stays. This lead-lined room, with views of the beautiful Sierra de Madrid, offers a comfortable and relaxing environment during the isolation days. Our focus is on ensuring the patient’s well-being and comfort at all times.
Our close collaboration with other hospital units, such as Oncology, Cardiology, Gynecology, and other specialties, enables comprehensive and personalized care. Direct communication between clinicians and the medical team of our Nuclear Medicine Service streamlines diagnostic processes, delivering results quickly and accurately.
Humane and empathetic care.
