Dr. Sutanu Roy Milton

Dr. Sutanu Roy Milton is a Consultant in Nuclear Medicine at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, Savar, Dhaka. He holds MBBS and FCPS qualifications and works in a medical field that uses small amounts of radioactive substances to help assess the function of organs and tissues. Unlike many imaging tests that mainly show the structure of an organ, nuclear medicine can provide information about how it is working. Patients may be referred for nuclear medicine tests when doctors need more specific information about the thyroid, bones, kidneys, heart, or other organs. The reason for a scan depends on the patient's symptoms and the medical question that needs to be answered.

At Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, Savar, Dr. Sutanu Roy Milton provides consultation related to Nuclear Medicine. Some nuclear medicine procedures involve a tracer that is taken by mouth or given through an injection before imaging. The substance travels to a particular part of the body and can then be detected during the scan. Depending on the test, patients may receive instructions about fasting, medicines, or other preparation beforehand. The amount and type of tracer used are selected according to the examination. Nuclear medicine is also used in selected treatment procedures, particularly for certain thyroid conditions. Patients should inform the medical team about pregnancy, breastfeeding, medicines, and previous investigations when relevant. A scan is only one part of the diagnostic process. The final assessment usually considers the patient's symptoms, examination, laboratory findings, and imaging together.
