Heart Muscle Imaging for Damage Detection

In this procedure, the provider performs planar nuclear imaging of heart muscle after the injection of a radioactive substance that accumulates in the area of damaged myocardium. The test helps to identify and locate the damage that a recent myocardial infarction might have caused. The provider also determines the ejection fraction of the ventricles by measuring the change in radioactivity as the radioactive substance travels through the heart.
