Cardiac Nuclear Medicine

Normal Nuclear Medicine Myocardial (heart) Perfusion Scan. This scan is performed on a camera that rotates around the patient and produces 'slices' of the heart in several different views. The nuclear radiologist looks for areas in the heart muscle that are not receiving enough blood flow. These areas can often be treated to restore blood flow.
