SAN DIEGO (Oct. 6, 2020) Michelle Pribble, Naval Medical Center San Diego's (NMCSD) lead nuclear medicine technologist, prepares a patient for a positron emission tomography (PET) scan in the hospital's Nuclear Medicine Department Oct. 6. A PET scan is used for revealing or evaluating conditions like cancers, heart conditions and brain disorders. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD's Nuclear Medicine Department has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they’ve come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active duty military personnel, civilians and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.
