Scott Perlman, MD, is a UW Health nuclear medicine physician who specializes in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. He’s also a professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Dr. Perlman performs different molecular imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases. These imaging tests, such as general nuclear medicine and positron emission tomography (PET scans), use small amounts of radioactive material to examine body functions at a cellular level. The images can help to identify organ and tissue concerns, such as abnormal brain function, heart problems and cancers. With an interest in improving cancer treatments through nuclear medicine, Dr. Perlman has a special interest in caring for patients with thyroid cancer. Dr. Perlman collaborates with a team of experts to provide cutting-edge care for patients facing complex conditions. He believes it’s an honor to help people overcome their health challenges. He strives to build relationships based on honesty and shared decision-making. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Perlman conducts research on new radiopharmaceuticals that contain small quantities of radioactive material. These innovative treatments aim to improve outcomes for patients with different types of cancer. Outside of work, Dr. Perlman enjoys traveling, biking and spending time with his family and friends. I’m dedicated to providing the most advanced therapies so that my patients can live long and happy lives.
