MUGA scan

Imaging the motion of heart wall muscles and assessing the function of the heart via a multiple-gated acquisition scan, which uses radioactive chemicals.

PET Scan (positron emission tomography)

Radioactive chemicals, which release radioactive particles, are injected into the bloodstream and travel to the heart. Cross-sectional images show the flow of blood and the functional activity of the heart muscle.

Technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scan

A radioactive pharmaceutical (sestamibi “tagged” with technetium-99m) is injected intravenously to show perfusion (flow) of blood in heart muscle. It is taken up in the area of a myocardial infarction, producing “hot spots.” In an ETT-MIBI exercise tolerance test, an intravenous radioactive substance is given before the patient reaches maximal heart rate on a treadmill.

Thallium-201 scan

A radioactive test that shows where injected thallium-201 (a radioactive substance) localizes in heart muscle.
