What does this testing entail?
Myocardial perfusion imaging uses a small amount of radioactive tracer and a specialized camera to create images of blood flow through the heart muscle. Images may be taken at rest and during exercise or medication-induced stress, depending on the test ordered by your physician.
How should I prepare?
Preparation varies by testing protocol. Our clinic team will provide your specific instructions when your appointment is confirmed. Tell your health care team about all medications you take and if you are pregnant, may be pregnant or are breastfeeding. Do not stop any medication unless your physician instructs you to do so.
How long is the test?
Appointment length varies by testing protocol. Our team will confirm the expected timing when your appointment is scheduled.
