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.

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.
