In this series, we are exploring the common and not-so-common specialties in medicine. Nuclear medicine sits at the crossroads of imaging and molecular science, revealing how disease behaves at a cellular level rather than just how it looks. In this episode, we explore how this often-overlooked specialty is shaping diagnosis, guiding therapy, and redefining the future of precision medicine.Dr. Erica Major is the Assistant Chief of Nuclear Medicine and Site Director of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Education at Edward Hines VA, where she oversees medical student and resident training.
