Thallium Test and its Function
The thallium stress test, also known as myocardial perfusion imaging or nuclear stress test, is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle during rest and stress conditions. It helps assess the presence of coronary artery disease and evaluate the overall function of the heart.
Conditions that may require Thallium Test
Following a heart attack, the thallium stress test can help assess the extent of damage to the heart muscle and evaluate the overall function of the heart. It helps determine if there is impaired blood flow to certain areas of the heart due to the blockage of coronary arteries.
Thallium Test Procedure
The Thallium Test is a simple blood test that can be performed in a laboratory. Before the test, the patient may be asked to avoid certain medications that may affect the results. During the test, our healthcare professional will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in the patient’s arm. The blood sample will then be sent to our laboratory for analysis.
