At the top, in large, colorful letters, the title "RADIOTROPES IMAGING" is written. Below it, the following description is provided: "Small amount of radiotropes are given Intravenously. The pt then scanned with a gama camera and radionuclide image is produced." Next, "Doppler ultrasound:" is written, followed by its description: "Sound waves are transmitted to an Or vein to assess the blood flow." Below this, another technique is described: "Duplex ultrasound It is a colour assisted non Invasive technique to study the arteries." Finally, "Magnetic resonance Imagining (MRI)" and "Tilt table test" are listed without further description in this image. However, a brief note follows "Tilt table test": "this test is used to diagnose the cause of syncope Syncope." "Exercise tolerance testing The exercise tolerance test or stress test measures Cardiac function or peripheral Vascular disease during a defined exercise protocol." "Angiography Angiography uses dye injected into the Vascular System to visualize the vessels on radiograph." Below these, two more techniques are listed: "electrophysiology study Evaluating electrical activity of the heart" "Hemodynamic monitoring monitoring the pressure in the blood vessels or heart" "positron emission tomography (PET) PET shows a myocardial perfusion & viability with 3D images." "Cardiac Catheterization It is an non Invasive diagnostic procedure that measures pressure in the heart chambers, great blood vessels Coronary arteries & provides Information on Cardiac Output & Oxygen Saturation."
