cutting edge heart scans and tests to provide diagnostics and condition management plans. Nuclear Cardiology is
the study and use of noninvasive techniques to assess and evaluate dysfunctions of the heart: blood flow, pumping function, size, and location. Nuclear medicine injects small amounts of radioactive materials - radiotracers - into the bloodstream, nose (inhaled) or mouth (swallowed). These radiotracers travel to the area being examined and give off gamma rays which are detected by a special camera and depicted by a computer as highly detailed images of the heart. Significant diseases and conditions treated at
