 Technetium Heart Scan: Encyclopedia of Medicine
The technetium heart scan is a noninvasive nuclear scan that uses a radioactive isotope called technetium to evaluate blood flow after a heart attack.
The technetium heart scan is a nuclear heart scan, which means that it involves the use of a radioactive isotope that targets the heart, and a radionuclide detector that traces the absorption of the radioactive isotope.
The technetium heart scan is usually performed in a hospital's nuclear medicine department but it can be done at the patient's bedside during a heart attack if the equipment is available.
