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 was pleasantly surprised with my visit. I don't know what I expected but the Doctor was very thorough and asked many questions, which I loved. He did seem concerned and wanted to cover all my concerns. The front desk staff was ok. Overall I had a great experience.

He explained to my husband and myself what we were facing. Also, his personality and bedside manner was superb. Not worried about this procedure at this time. Just waiting to have it scheduled. Office staff up front were caring and polite. Just be glad when all is done and over.
