Dr. Mandar Marotka

Dr Mandar Marotka is a nuclear medicine specialist in Pune with 15 years of clinical expertise in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine, PET-CT imaging, radionuclide therapy, thyroid scintigraphy, bone scans, cardiac nuclear imaging, and cancer-related molecular imaging. Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive tracers to diagnose and treat diseases at the molecular and cellular level, often detecting conditions earlier than conventional imaging.

If your doctor has recommended a PET-CT scan, a thyroid scan, a bone scan, or radioiodine therapy, Dr Marotka provides this specialised care.

He consults in English, Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati.

Why Patients and Oncologists Trust Dr Mandar Marotka for Nuclear Medicine in Pune

Nuclear medicine is a specialty that most patients encounter when they need a PET-CT scan for cancer, radioiodine treatment for thyroid disease, or a specialised scan that their doctor has recommended. The accuracy of these scans and treatments depends heavily on the training and experience of the nuclear medicine physician interpreting them. Dr Marotka's MD from Tata Memorial Hospital (India's national cancer institute) means he trained at the institution with arguably the highest cancer imaging volume in the country.

His four professional memberships spanning Indian, European, and North American nuclear medicine and radiology societies (SNMI, ANMPI, EANM, and RSNA) reflect engagement with both the Indian and international nuclear medicine community. Nuclear medicine specialists with Tata Memorial training and quadruple society membership remain uncommon in Pune.

With multilingual consultation in English, Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati and practice at Manipal Hospitals, Baner, patients and referring clinicians in Pune now have access to Tata Memorial trained nuclear medicine expertise.
