There are several types of studies associated with Nuclear Medicine, including:

Stress Tests - We Offer Two Options!

Myocardial Perfusion Study:
This test determines if your heart muscle is receiving adequate blood supply under stress and/or rest conditions by chemically stressing your heart. Total exam time is 2.5 – 3 hours.

                   Treadmill Stress Test:
                   This test determines if your heart muscle is receiving adequate blood supply under stress
                   and/or rest conditions by physical exertion on a specialized Treadmill.
                   Total exam time is 2.5 – 3 hours.

Renal Scans

Disease, damage and malformations of the kidneys and urinary tract can be detected through renal scans.

Thyroid Uptakes and Scans

This test is used to diagnose disorders of the thyroid gland, which is considered the “thermostat” because it speeds up or slows down most body functions.

Lung Scans

Lung scans are most commonly used to detect blood clots in the lungs.

Liver, Spleen and Gallbladder Imaging

These scans help diagnose gallbladder disorders and liver disorders, such as cirrhosis and tumors.

Total Body and Limited Area Bone Scans

Whether it is a total body scan or a limited area bone scan, they are used to detect areas of bone growth, fractures, tumors or bone infections.
