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
Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology Reviews
It took a while to get in to see my doctor. But once taken back, all was quick and smooth. The place was clean. People were pleasant & efficient. I had a very good experience there. I am well pleased, all in all.
Facility staff are friendly and helpful. Dr. John is thorough and spends the time necessary to determine any issues and leaves you feeling comfortable and at ease when leaving.
I am extremely happy with the treatment provided by Dr. Terzian and office staff. They are very professional and pleasant with patients.
wanted to say this is the best and most efficiently run practice I have seen in a very long time. Everyone is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. the nurse practitioner I saw, Nicole, was amazing. she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and satisfied. the office staff stayed on the phone booking and urgent dermatologist appointment for me the next day. They are an amazing practice.
Danielle at the desk is always the kindest and most friendly person to talk to! She’s also super helpful with arranging your follow ups in an organized manner.
