First gamma imaging center in Lalitpur providing nuclear medicine services like thyroid scan, renal DTPA/DMSA scans, parathyroid scan, bone scans, etc
This brings us joy and pleasure to share this certificate of Dr. Suman Shrestha, our nuclear medicine physician in the center, that reflects the recognition of the expertise of Dr. Shrestha in an international reputed journal, European Radiology - official journal of European Society of Radiology.
Dr. Shrestha received the peer review certificate for his academic engagement as an reviewer of the European Radiology Journal, official journal of European Society of Radiology for the year 2025.
Oncidium Foundation is a non-profit, public-benefit organization dedicated to advancing radioligand therapy for cancer care worldwide.
With the vision of Dr. Suman to uplift the nuclear medicine services in Nepal, Oncidium Foundation has appointed him as an ambassador of the foundation for Nepal and expects Dr. Shrestha to educate, aware and advocate for equitable access to treatment for cancer patients, offering hope for an improved quality of life.
Dr. Shrestha has taken the role as an ambassador since February, 2026.
Our doctor, Dr. Suman Shrestha, received birthday wishes on his birthday Feb. 16, from one of the largest nuclear medicine societies of the world, Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), USA.
Dr. Suman had received the Future Leaders Academy Training of the SNMMI in 2023. There, he kept his vision to return Nepal and work to uplift the field of nuclear medicine in Nepal. Then, some of his colleagues did not believe him that he would return to Nepal rejecting the offers to work in developed countries. Our center, Nepal Center of Nuclear Medicine (NCNM) was established as an initiation to working towards his wish to contribute to Nepal's nuclear medicine field.
Dr. Suman attended the 1-hour long continuous professional training on the topic "Thyroid Eye Disease".
Thyroid eye disease is a complication of hyperthyroidism, if not treated in time will lead to serious complication like potential vision loss due to optic nerve compression.
Are you experiencing eye discomfort linked to a thyroid condition? > Early diagnosis is the key to protecting your vision.
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), also known as Graves' Ophthalmopathy, is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the tissues, muscles, and fat behind the eyes. It is most commonly associated with an overactive thyroid (Graves' disease).
Nuclear thyroid scan helps in diagnosis and radioiodine therapy helps to treat the overactive thyroid.
