Radionuclide imaging uses a special gamma camera detector to create an image following injection of radioactive material. Radionuclide imaging is done to evaluate coronary artery disease (CAD), valvular or congenital cardiac disorders, cardiomyopathy, and other cardiac disorders.
Radionuclide imaging exposes to less radiation. Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, Infarct Avid Imaging, Radionuclide Ventriculography, Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are Radionuclide imaging techniques.
