Nuclear Cardiology uses radioisotopes to document both organ function and structure, allowing for the investigation of functional changes produced by disease processes.

Nuclear Cardiology can often identify abnormalities or problems very early in the progression of a disease, sometimes before they are apparent using other diagnostic tests. This allows for early intervention and treatment.

A small dose of Isotope is injected into the vein in the arm, and then pictures are taken using a Gamma Camera which detects the radioactivity within the body. This non-invasive procedure provides valuable information about the heart's function and structure.

Nuclear Cardiology allows for the visualization of the heart's function and structure, providing detailed information that may not be visible with other imaging methods. It is a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring heart conditions, helping healthcare professionals make informed decisions about treatment options.
