Triple Board Certified Female Nuclear Medicine Physician with European and Asian Board Fellowships and Advanced Theranostics Capability

Nuclear medicine is a highly specialised field where the combination of formal board certification, international credentialling, and capability in both advanced molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy creates a practice profile that directly impacts cancer diagnosis and treatment precision.

Dr Pallavi's profile combines three distinct board certifications: DNB Nuclear Medicine (Indian credentialling), FEBNM from the European Board of Nuclear Medicine (European credentialling), and FANMB from the Asian Nuclear Medicine Board (Asian credentialling). Triple board certification across Indian, European, and Asian nuclear medicine examinations is genuinely rare among Indian nuclear medicine practitioners.

Her clinical capability spans both diagnostic molecular imaging (Ga-68 DOTA, PSMA, and FAPI PET/CT alongside conventional gamma imaging) and therapeutic radionuclide interventions (I-131 radioiodine for thyroid cancer, Lu-177 and Ac-225 DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumours, PSMA-targeted therapy for metastatic prostate cancer, and bone pain palliation). Her three international professional memberships in ANMPI, EANM, and SNMMI further reflect engagement with both European and North American nuclear medicine communities.

Female nuclear medicine physicians with this combination of triple board certification and theranostics capability remain genuinely uncommon. For patients in Bangalore requiring PET/CT imaging, radioiodine therapy for thyroid cancer, or targeted radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine tumours or prostate cancer, this depth of internationally credentialled nuclear medicine is now offered through Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road.
