Cardiac Nuclear Scanning

This test examines blood flow to the heart muscle using stress testing and a chemical known as a “tracer”, which is a short-lived radioactive agent. This scan is especially useful in determining whether heart artery disease is limiting blood flow, in assessing patients prior to major surgery, and in investigating patients with possible angina.

Scans are performed at NZ Medical Imaging in Mountain Road.
