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.

Dr John has treated my mom for last few years and he is the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever known! He is super knowledgeable in all aspects of medicine. My sweet mama would not be here if it wasn’t for him. He is a true 5 star.

I arrived early but was welcomed and treated well. Received the attention I needed from the doctor and other people there. Got the consultation I needed and left much sooner than expected feeling comfortable with the diagnosis and recommendations. The visit went very well.
I get excellent, compassionate care here. My appointment is always on time. I’ve been a patient here for seven years. Very much appreciate the friendliness and courtesy of all the staff
