A member asked:
What are the primary differences in a ct scan of heart and a nuclear stress test? would one make more sense looking for blockages?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CARDIAC IMAGING: A CT reveals anatomy with some limitation if heavy calcium is present & scanner technology dependent,A nuclear stress depends on the isotope (TCc vs Thallium vs one of the PET agents) reveals detailed information on function,often the 2 modalities are complementary and necessary for appropriate diagnosis and treatment/prognostication
