Myocardial SPECT ESF\/REST<\/h2><\/div>Important: you must arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time, regardless of what is communicated by phone.<\/strong><\/p>\nCardiac nuclear medicine imaging evaluates the heart to identify coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy (diseases of the heart muscle). It can also be used to determine whether the heart has been damaged by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, which are usually injected into the bloodstream. Nuclear medicine imaging provides unique information that generally cannot be obtained using other imaging procedures.<\/p>\n
