General Information

Nuclear Medicine exams detect radioactive isotopes (tracers) given to the patient prior to the exam in order to show function of various areas within the body.

The procedure:
The technologist will ask you to identify yourself followed by a series of questions concerning your condition and the reason for performing the exam. The questions vary with each exam. Once the exam is deemed appropriate, you will be given an injection or pill and given a time to return based on the study and the available camera time. Some exams are performed immediately while some require returning later the same day or again the next day. Most of the exams require lying still on your back for a period of time while the camera acquires the images. Efforts are made to make you as comfortable as possible within the limits of the exam. If there is a question about the exam, please contact Valley Regional Imaging, Nuclear Medicine Department.

The patient should know the following:
Females who are pregnant or nursing should not have the exam. If there is any possibility that you may be pregnant, you should have a pregnancy test performed just prior to having the exam. There will be some preparation for certain exams and none for others. Please refer to the specific exam on this site for more information. If you have had any recent exams concerning the same diagnosis at another facility, please bring a copy of the reports. Please supply a list of your current medications.
