Nuclear Scan For Abnormal Blood Flow In The Heart

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 78428

A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein and a special camera follows its passage through the heart and lungs. The pattern and timing show whether blood is leaking between the chambers of the heart instead of following its normal path. It is used to find and gauge the size of a shunt, an abnormal connection inside the heart.
