About Nuclear Medicine Exams and Therapies
Meet the Doctor
Nuclear medicine is going through a renaissance and we now have more cancer-specific diagnostic tools and treatment options available than ever before. We use specialized imaging to better understand disease states and ensure we are selecting the right treatment for the right patient. Every patient and every cancer is different and my practice's approach to personal, precision, and data driven medicine allows us to treat it that way.
James Cassuto, MD, PhD is a dual boarded diagnostic radiologist and nuclear medicine physician.
