Nuclear Cardiology
Information for patients
|
 |
 The nuclear cardiology division of nuclear medicine
at The Miriam Hospital deals with the
diagnosis of heart-related illnesses. Small, safe amounts of radioactive
materials are injected into the patient. These travel to the heart,
enabling pictures of the heart to be taken. All studies are interpreted by
a board-certified cardiologist or radiologist with specialty expertise in
nuclear cardiology.
The Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine
Laboratories (ICANL) recognizes the nuclear cardiology department of The
Miriam Hospital as an accredited lab.
