What do Nuclear Cardiology Physicians do?
Nuclear cardiology physicians use radioactive tracers and advanced imaging techniques to diagnose and manage heart conditions.
They interpret images from procedures like myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), PET scans, and MUGA scans to assess blood flow, heart muscle pumping function, and detect damage from heart attacks.
These physicians help diagnose diseases such as coronary artery disease and heart failure, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and predict the risk of future cardiac events.
What they do
Diagnosing heart conditions involves using imaging to identify diseases like coronary artery disease, heart failure, and damage from heart attacks.
Assess heart function: They evaluate how well the heart muscle is pumping and how well blood is flowing through the heart, using tests like nuclear stress tests and MUGA scans.
Evaluate treatment effectiveness: They can check if treatments, such as procedures to open blocked arteries, are working correctly.
Predict risk: They help predict the risk of future heart attacks or other cardiac events.
Interpret medical images: After a patient receives a radioactive tracer injection and the images are captured with a gamma camera, the physician interprets these images to create a diagnosis.
Common procedures
Cardiac SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography): This is a common type of nuclear imaging that uses a special camera to create 3D images of the heart.
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI): Often called a nuclear stress test, this shows blood flow to the heart muscle and how well the heart is pumping.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET): This non-invasive procedure provides information on blood supply and the metabolic activity of the heart muscle.
Multi-gated Acquisition (MUGA) Scan: Also known as a radionuclide angiography, this measures the pumping function of the heart’s ventricles.
