Re: Dual Radionuclide Stress Test

["Jim Nicolosi" <jfnicolosi@tds.net>]

Tom...they do a two step test with TL-201...one at stress (exercise) and one

at rest...one dose, two scans...it is a standard nuclear medicine

procedure...also there is one that they administer two doses of a Tc-99m

labelled product using the same protocol as for Tl-201...I speak from

experience as I have had both of them done to me...Jim Nicolosi, Knoxville,
