A member asked:
Is it safe to be near children after a nuclear stress test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time and distance...: The amount of radiation you receive and how long it is in your system will depend on the type of stress test (PET vs. SPECT) and exact tracer (Thallium, Tc Sestamibi, Rb, Ammonia). In any case, minimizing the time and maximizing the distance spent with babies/young children would be best immediately after scan to be extra safe. Ask your doctor which tracer was used so you can get exact details.
