The Cardiac Nuclear Imaging Laboratory offers a spectrum of noninvasive tests for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with cardiovascular disease. Consultation is available to assist in making the appropriate test selection for answering specific clinical questions.
Monitors are available for up to one month.
All tests performed in the nuclear cardiology laboratory are acquired on a computer and undergo image processing. This provides quantitative data concerning right and left ventricular function and regional myocardial perfusion. Computer quantification is important for objective, reliable and reproducible reporting. Findings in patients are related to a normal reference data base. All computer software has been developed and tested within the Cardiovascular Nuclear Imaging Laboratory.
