he laboratory performs close to 4,000
tests/year, operating six days a week, 10 hours a day. Available testing
includes treadmill stress tests, myocardial perfusion imaging (Tc99m

All Tc99m images are gated. We recently upgraded our equipment with
multiheaded ADAC SPECT cameras ensuring state of the art technology.
