How Does Nuclear Medicine Testing Work?
Our cardiac testing team uses Cardiolite or sestamibi, a radioactive substance known as a radiotracer, to reveal any partial obstructions in the coronary arteries. Once the Cardiolite is injected into the bloodstream intravenously, the radiotracer will be distributed to the heart to highlight good and poor blood flow. A special camera will take a series of images, highlighting normal blood flow and portions of the heart not receiving enough blood flow because of a blockage in the coronary arteries. Our physician will interpret the images, search for any signs of disease or abnormality, and make a diagnosis before discussing treatment options.
