    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide_angiography

    As the gamma camera images are acquired, the patient's heart beat is used to 'gate' the acquisition. The final result is a series of images of the heart (usually sixteen), one at each stage of the cardiac cycle. [citation needed] Depending on the objectives of the test, the doctor may decide to perform either a resting or a stress MUGA.

    By showing the relative amounts of radioisotope within the heart muscle, the nuclear stress tests more accurately identify regional areas of reduced blood flow. [ 12 ] Stress and potential cardiac damage from exercise during the test is a problem in patients with ECG abnormalities at rest or in patients with severe motor disability.

    Radioactive isotopes are used in medicine for both treatment and diagnostic scans. The most common isotope used in diagnostic scans is Technetium-99m, used in approximately 85% of all nuclear medicine diagnostic scans worldwide. It is used for diagnoses involving a large range of body parts and diseases such as cancers and neurological problems ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_medicine

    Nuclear medicine (nuclear radiology, nucleology), [1] [2] is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nuclear imaging is, in a sense, radiology done inside out , because it records radiation emitted from within the body rather than radiation that is transmitted through ...
