Nuclear Stress Testing (Lexiscan) $941
The test is done in two parts, resting and stress (exercise). If you are unable to exercise, your doctor may combine the nuclear imaging material with a medication called Lexiscan. Lexiscan increases blood flow in your coronary arteries. Healthy arteries respond more than diseased arteries to Lexiscan. The scan shows the areas of your heart that are supplied by healthy arteries and those that may be blocked or narrowed.Tags
