What is Dr. Nicholas Friedman's specialty?
Dr. Friedman is a Nuclear Medicine Specialist near Chicago, IL. Nuclear Medicine Specialist has expertise in using the properties of radioactive atoms and molecules for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, as well as for medical research purposes.

Key applications include the early detection of coronary artery disease (including acute heart attacks), early cancer diagnosis and treatment evaluation, as well as diagnosing infections and inflammation throughout the body.
