Contact Uswhat is a nuclear medicine scan?
Nuclear medicine scans use a gamma camera to detect the low-dose radioactive substance that is either intravenously injected or orally taken by a patient. The scans show the heart in detail, evaluating its functions to ensure the heart and its intricate parts are working properly. The special camera searches for the gamma rays within the radioactive substance, also called a radiotracer, to illuminate normal function and show artery blockages. To learn more about nuclear medicine scans and what these tests can reveal about your health, set up an appointment at Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology in West Bridgewater, MA today.
what to expect from a Nuclear Medicine Scan
Nuclear medicine has been part of diagnostic testing for more than 60 years. Although patients are subjected to a low-dose radioactive substance, the benefits of nuclear medicine scans outweigh the risks, such as:
- Provides valuable information about organ function and body composition to diagnose and treat different conditions
- Supplies more precise details than exploratory surgery
- Detects early stages of disease, allowing for immediate intervention and a better prognosis
