What is a nuclear scan?

0

Nuclear scanning is sometimes used to show damaged areas of the heart and expose problems with the heart’s pumping action. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into a vein, usually in the arm. A scanning camera records the distribution of the nuclear material within the heart muscle, helping to determine which parts of the heart are damaged.
