A nuclear heart scan is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to test the heart's structure and function. This medical imaging test combines a ECT scan with EEG to assess cardiac sarcoidosis.
The test involves injecting a small amount of radioactive material or chemical marker into the circulatory system through a vein in the arm. The contrast material is either absorbed by the heart muscle or stays in the veins. The low-level radiation emits low levels of ionizing radiation as it passes through the heart, which is then detected by a camera. The images and data help identify areas of the heart muscle that receive inadequate blood flow.
There are several types of diagnostic tests, including:
While nuclear heart scans involve exposure to small amounts of ionizing radiation, the benefits of this non-invasive test outweigh the risks outweigh the risks. Individuals who should not undergo a nuclear heart scan are those with a past health issue, pregnant women and minors.
When individuals are referred to a medical doctor for a nuclear heart scan, they will be prepared for the test by signing permissions and removing any metal objects that could interfere with the scan.
A nuclear heart scan is conducted by trained medical professionals, usually done under mild sedation to ensure comfort during the test. The test is typically short, lasting 30 minutes, and allows patients to return to their normal activities quickly.
Overall, nuclear heart scans are a effective diagnostic tool in modern cardiology, allowing cardiologists to more effectively monitor patient health.

There are several types of diagnostic tests, including:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Traditionally used nuclear heart scan technology that captures images of the heart.
- Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT): Cuts through the chest and combines images of the heart.
- Gamma Camera scan : اسکن هسته ای Creates detailed images of the heart function using a different type of tracer material.
- Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) : Uses medical imaging techniques to capture images of the heart.
