2. Radionuclide angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide_angiography

   Radionuclide angiography is an area of nuclear medicine which specialises in imaging to show the functionality of the right and left ventricles of the heart, thus allowing informed diagnostic intervention in heart failure. It involves use of a radiopharmaceutical, injected into a patient, and a gamma camera for acquisition.

3. Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium_(99mTc)_sestamibi

   Single photon emission computed tomography imaging of the heart is performed using a gamma camera to detect the gamma rays emitted by the technetium-99m as it decays. Two sets of images are acquired. For one set, 99m Tc MIBI is injected while the patient is at rest and then the myocardium is imaged. In the second set, the patient is stressed ...

4. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   The risk increases with the exposure time, consisting of 1) time guiding the probe into and out of the heart and 2) time illuminating the contrast agent to perform the angiogram. Absorbed radiation is also a function of body mass index, with obese patients having twice the dose of normal-weight patients; exposure to the operator was also ...

5. Cardiac ventriculography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_ventriculography

   Cardiac ventriculography involves injecting contrast media into the heart's ventricle(s) to measure the volume of blood pumped. Cardiac ventriculography can be performed with a radionuclide in radionuclide ventriculography or with an iodine-based contrast in cardiac chamber catheterization.

6. Cardiac imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_imaging

   A physician may recommend cardiac imaging to support a diagnosis of a heart condition. Medical specialty professional organizations discourage the use of routine cardiac imaging during pre-operative assessment for patients about to undergo low or mid-risk non-cardiac surgery because the procedure carries risks and is unlikely to result in the change of a patient's management.

   The average refund for these taxpayers was $3,841, indicating that the cost of the RAC was about 1% of the total refund. The average refund for a fee-based RAL was $6,696.

8. Myocardial perfusion imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_perfusion_imaging

   Myocardial perfusion imaging or scanning (also referred to as MPI or MPS) is a nuclear medicine procedure that illustrates the function of the heart muscle (). [1]It evaluates many heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), [2] hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart wall motion abnormalities.
